The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep," resident Abdul Aziz Mohammed said. Some of the corpses were dismembered, he said. Beneath the bodies, a man held a printed sign with a skull and crossbones and the phrase "Fallujah is the cemetery for Americans."

Here is how I would handled this Sunni Triangle snake pit:

1. Set up a cordon sanitaire around Fallujah. Nobody goes in. The residents only go out, once, through check points to be sorted into "totally harmeless" or "in need of imprisonment"

2. Wait as long as it takes to have nobody left in the city except the Bathist die-hards.

3. Wage mechanical urban warfare on the city and the holdouts with heavy emphasis on air power and artillery and practically no emphasis on infantry.

4. Sustain the attack until there is not a stray dog left alive to roam the streets.

The media and the Frogs would scream.... for about 2 weeks.... then it would be forgotten.... and it would not need to be done again.

May I add:

5. MOAB the remains until no stone stands upon another. 6. Salt the earth.

Your strategy is perfect, it is EXACTLY what I have been saying for a long time. BUT first, we would have to get the press out of there, otherwise there would be whining about "human-rights" abuses.
