American dead butchered 'like sheep'(Time for Fallujah to be taken off the map)

I always said about the Iraq War that we needed to go over there and kick somebody's butt, and Saddam volunteered by jumping up and down shouting "Me, me me!"

Similarly, I think we need to do a large scale urban pacification excersize, just to demonstrate to the Islamabombers what we can do. It looks like Fallujah just volunteered.

Isolate the city. Send in the armor. Create a sterile zone. Expand that zone until the entire city has been pacified. Eliminate all opposition and demolish any building used as a defensive position.

Its a big, difficult job, but it must be done. We have to demonstrate that we can control large cities. And after this atrocity, nobody is going to worry if we break a few eggs while preparing the omlette.

Strange. I have read and seen reports ranging from 780,000 to 500,000. Now you say you heard 100,000? LOL!

I agree with what you say about what will happen, but I don't think it will be quiet. You are dreaming if you think a few of our guys will be roaming the streets and will sneak up on these guys and kill them. There are too many of them and our guys will stick out like a sore thumb. Our men are warriors, but they are not super humans. We will however, zoom in on the top ten or so involved and will probably kill them using ground troops in connection with some black hawks...

With those photos....how hard is it going to be to roundup that neighborhood and have a regular ID check.

This act is more like something out of ancient Assyria. Doing this is totally against the rules of the Koran. The dead, even enemy pagans and infidels, are to be respected and buried. Not in the hospital where our soldier died--they were buried. This is a terrible act. We must meet this action with something that will tear the joy from their hearts. Clean out the city and march them to the south--replace the population with Kurds. Blow up their mosques--and destroy all that is good. Rip out the power lines we put up and the water systems. Let them drink sewage infested riverwater. If they want to act like ancient barbarians--let them live like them. Maybe give them 48 hours to bring us the heads of all in the video--or we launch an atomic attack that will kill all. I'm sorry, I am enraged by such acts.

It sounds about as lame as a two thousand year old dead jew criminal who came back to life and promises a mansion in paradise for all who call him son's only begotten son. One man's religion is another man's bit of insanity.

Who knows? Last night on O'Reilly Factor one of his guests said 200,000, but O'Reilly "corrected" him and said 300,000. In the newspaper today I read a story that said 500,000, and in another article it said 700,000. Go figure.

I strongly disagree. These acts were VERY Islamic. Hell, the Koran itself, and other Islamic texts, come right out and tell the faithful to kill and mutilate their enemies. Give me one good example where a victorious Moslem army or a victorious Moselm force respected and buried their victims. And don't trot out the example of the thousands of political victims Saddam had murdered and buried in mass graves. Some respect! Their hands were still tied behind their backs when they were found. He had them buried in order to conceal them.
