Funny how those countries were two of the biggest opponents of going into Iraq.

those pictures are amazing.
i wonder how many of those suckers are hanging around - and what else got buried the same way

edit: never mind.

The discovery of the buried Iraqi jet fighters illustrates the problem faced by U.S. inspection teams searching Iraq for weapons of mass destruction. Iraq is larger in size than California, and the massive deserts south and west of Baghdad were used by Saddam Hussein to hide weapons during the first Gulf war. U.S. intelligence sources have already uncovered several mass grave burial sites in the open deserts with an estimated 10,000 dead hidden there. In addition, Iraq previously hid SCUD missiles, chemical weapons and biological warheads by burying them under the desert sand.

That's so fucked up. Everything going on there right now - buried fighter jets, buried WMD, civilian contractor's bodies torched and hung from bridges among cheering children, hell that whole situation in Fallujah - so fucked up. I hate to make racial stereotypes but what the hell kind of monsters are these people raised to be?

Islam is a religion of peace, it's the fucktard assholes who misinterpret it who make the region, and the religion, look bad.

No holy wars, just stupid shit ass fights between cliques.

That's why I adhered to nothing when I was a kid probably, didn't want to get involved in stupid people's shit.

It's not a towel, it's more of a little sheet. So little sheet heads is the most appropriate.

Iraqi 'Mach 3' MiG Buried in Sand
Charles R. Smith
Wednesday August 6, 2003
NewsMax.com has obtained exclusive photos of a buried Iraqi jet fighter being recovered by U.S. Air Force troops. The Iraqi jet, an advanced Russian MiG-25 Foxbat, was found buried in the sand after an informant tipped off U.S. troops.
Click here to see the MiG buried in the Iraqi desert.

The MiG was dug out of a massive sand dune near the Al Taqqadum airfield by U.S. Air Force recovery teams. The MiG was reportedly one of over two dozen Iraqi jets buried in the sand, like hidden treasure, waiting to be recovered at a later date.

Contrary to what some in the major media have reported, not all the jets found were from the Gulf War era.

The Russian-made MiG-25 Foxbat being recovered by U.S. Air Force troops in the photos is an advanced reconnaissance version never before seen in the West and is equipped with sophisticated electronic warfare devices.

U.S. Air Force recovery teams had to use large earth-moving equipment to uncover the MiG, which is over 70 feet long and weighs nearly 25 tons.
