Ursula: From my reading at the time, it was the 'retreating' army that was buried by bulldozers. Surely a war crime.
Talking about how Saddam Hussein put children in the front lines conveniently blunts the truth of that.

Eric: Not true, Ursula. The retreating Republican Guard, carrying its loot from Kuwait, was attacked and destroyed from the air.

Ask yourself: how could a retreating army be buried by bulldozers? They'd have to wait around for the bulldozers to catch up with them. Sort of a surreal image.
