"Deferring this question to you guys . ."

Falluja religious and community leaders are just posturing for the world media. The PA has this down to an art form. The PA situation is different, as the Arab dominated UN, the EU, and our own State Department have the Israelis coerced and intimidated into inaction (for now).

I don't think the furtive attempt at playing the same political games by these Jihadis is going to fly, here. No matter how skillful the linquistical gymanastics of the Bush Administration, there is no way to put this in a positive light. Bush knows this barbarity is another Somalia scenario. It would be out of established Administration character to not respond in a very loud, high-profile way; or, he can just surrender now because it's all downhill after this incident.

But I don't think so.

Fallujah is going to reap the Whirlwind. And it's going to be flying a Marine Corps flag....

While I definitely like your thinking on Fullujah, there is a vast difference between a "Black Hawk Down" fiasco under Bull Klunkton and what we will do under George Bush.

I agree, Bush can't "Religion of Peace" this one into forgetfullness.

But when our special forces ask for C-130 Death ships this time, I promise you, they won't have to ask a second time.
