A lot of folks are angry because we haven't leveled the place, but if we do that, the same folks (not to mention the America-hating Dims) will howl about the "slaughter of innocents".

"The same folks...will howl about the slaughter of innocents"

Not this boy.

Let the slaughter begin, the sooner the better.

I really almost don't want to read another thread unless it's titled "Pacification commences in Falluja".

Muslims, even the Sunnis, respect quick, decisive actions. Notice I did not say they would like these actions, but they will respect them. In other words, hit hard, hit decisively and establish a precedent of focused retaliation. If we hit Fallujah hard, even with the handful of 'innocents' that undoubtedly live there, the Islamists will respect that and think twice. The worst thing we can do is to pull another retreat after this outrage.
