They still could have and should have dropped at least one small bomb to get those people away from the body. It's ridiculous and just plain stupid for them to let something like that go on for so long while being filmed for future terrorist propaganda. The Iraqis just sat an example for the Arab world that you can kill Americans and mutilate them and we won't respond. The Arab world will take that as cowardice and weakness because that's exactly what it's going to look like through their eyes. Most of them don't understand how politicized our Military is, so they aren't going to understand that point of view. We are suppose to be in control of that town, but it's obvious that we aren't when we can't stop something like that from happening. The amount of time this was allowed to go on is the most incredible part of this disaster. Now we may never find any of the remains of these men. I highly doubt they ever thought they would be allowed to be dismembered on TV for the world to see while the Military, that they once served, did nothing but watch. It was a big mistake not stop this and it's going to be an even bigger mistake if we don't strike back hard enough for the entire Arab world to see it.

An agreement to leave? Yeah, right...only minutes before the B52s are overhead.

Allowing fostering islamotrash hell-holes to exist with serpents breeding right there....no way. The area needs to be turned into a horror museum dedicated to the outlawed Baath Party...filled with stuffed Baath Members posing in their execution rituals.

You'll get no argument from me on that score, sir.

And thank you for your service to our country.

I too find this unbelievable. I never would have thought we leave our fallen countrymen to such vicious, mutilating mobs. As in Somalia I wondered where the "Lil birds" were with their gun runs and in this case where were the Apaches, A-10s and Spectre gunships.
Totally unacceptable, especially for Marines who claim never leave their fallen behind.
How sad,

"The death of each one of these people is worth 10 Iraqi lives.

10 to 1 is O.K. with this guy? How about 100 to 1, or 500 to 1?

We can provide any number he wants!

We need to let the Iraqi's take care of this. Send in a brigade or two of heavy armored Kurd units. Let them pacify Saddam's Wanna-b's. Use the US forces as a perimeter and when anyone tries to leave just toss them back in.

"Yep, the Arabs contributed the concept of Zero to the world centuries ago.....and
that's what they're still contributing. Leni"

Actually it was the Hindus in India. The Muslims brought the idea of zero back to Arabia.

Fallujah surrendered during the war and never saw any real action during major combat operations. They have no idea of what kinda of misery is about to descend on them thanks to that mob of ignorant, filthy barbarians.

If Fallujahns were really frightened, they'd be offering up the people who did this on a platter...

What you said makes a lot of sense...which is exactly why the Fallujans won't do it.

"The next step is probably going to be a street by street search and the arrest of all
the principal tribal leaders and imams. Maybe 2,000 arrests, thousands of weapons
confiscated. The principal businesses of the tribal..."

Arrests? Arrests to what end? The arrested just spew a lot of lies during the
"interrogations." They know that no bodily harm will come to them from being
"arrested." They know that Americans are "soft." Arrests are a waste of time.
Raze the damn city to the ground. Let our tank gunners and bombers
have some target practice!
