Very hard way to have to fight, street to street, but jungle fighting with the tunnel rats may have been worse. You couldn't get tanks into the places where they were really needed. I'm not denigrating our fine troops and what they are doing, just making a comparision.

Cluster bombs are always a favorite where Islam is concerned in my book, just scads of collateral damage.

Right, moping up. I don't call what has happened since "major operations" supposedly ended, moping up. In your civilian mind maybe, not in mine. Sorry, I don't agree with you.
