I have NO idea where he could have gotten that from. Ted Turner paid our dues which had been help up by Jesse Helms amongst others.

from the Iraq Quiz:

18. Q: How many retreating Iraqi soldiers were buried alive by U.S. tanks with ploughs mounted on the front?
A: 6,000

Does anyone know of a source for this?

But I know the story. In the Gulf War 1, the Iraqi's were lined up in trenches to face the oncoming US assault. US forces rigged plows to the front of tanks, and then sped full throttle along the trench lines, burying Iraq soldiers alive. This was revealed by a reporter, who had covered combat in Vietnam, etc. He couldn't understand why there were no bodies or wounded lying around, till he saw some arms/legs/ etc sticking up from where the trenches used to me. Nauseating.

I'd never heard that. That's horrific.

no doubt
