I can see it now...

General. "Must munificent leader, our great victory has come with the 
but trifling loss of only 375,000 men. What should we do we them?"

Saddam. "Well, we'll bury 2000, 400km thataway, and another 2000 350km 
thataway."

G. "What about the others, most beneficent leader"

S. "We'll bury them in the deep south, where the kurds are, miles and 
miles away from where they fell. Oh, and don't forget to strip them of 
their uniforms. Waste not want not."

G. "But your most unerring highness, we don't have the resources to 
transport all those bodies over such vast distances?"

S. "Transport them? Hell, no Iraqi soldier, alive or dead, would allow 
themselves to be such a burden upon the state. Let them walk"
