Cemetery Workers In Iraq May Go Hungry Thanks To The Surge

Evil George Bush is taking work away from cemetery workers in Iraq!

This is all the proof we need that the surge is working.

As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch.


At what’s believed to be the world’s largest cemetery, where Shiite Muslims aspire to be buried and millions already have been, business isn’t good.

A drop in violence around Iraq has cut burials in the huge Wadi al Salam cemetery here by at least one-third in the past six months, and that’s cut the pay of thousands of workers who make their living digging graves, washing corpses or selling burial shrouds.

Few people have a better sense of the death rate in Iraq.
