I guess I missed our elected officials coming together in outrage over this atrocity.
God help us, if we have another administration that cuts and runs like Bill Clinton did from Somalia. If that happens, we are no better than Spain for giving in to terrorist demands.

I do think the response will be less than satisfactory for my tastes. But then again, people have their butts hanging in the breeze there (I dont) and I think they should be given some latitude as to how to respond
hopefully the administration (re)acts accordingly...

Not very likely. A somewhat overused but appropriate quote: 'Beware the wrath of the patient man".
After 9/11, there was a lot of yammering about nuking the middle east. It was a stupid but understandable reaction. if we have another administration that cuts and runs like Bill Clinton did from Somalia...
Destroying Fallujah falls in that same category. Just as with the Taliban, we will get justice not simply revenge.
Destroying Fallujah would only make 500,000 martyrs. Taking the patient, deliberate action of finding and eliminating the insurgents denies them a martyr's hope of glory and puts in them the sure knowledge that no matter what they do to us, that evil will be undeniably visted on them by our disciplined use of deadly force.

So true.

A resident in the flashtown of Fallujah, 60 km norht of Baghdad displays a leaflet distributed by US troops. The leaflet reading 'Escaping to any place, hiding anywhere, will not prevent the coalition forces from finding you and bringing you to justice', was distributed in this restive town a day after a US Marine and five Iraqis, including a cameraman working for ABC News were killed during clashes with insurgents after Friday prayer.(AFP/Karim Sahib) |

Amazingly true stuff.
And yet, so hard to fathom, that Jesus died for even those barbarians in Fallujah, too, and He looked down, seeing their every horrible act this week. I can never fully fathom the depth of that love of the Creator's Son, for even those who do such satanic deeds. It certainly transcends what I would be able to do.

I cannot believe you are even doubting our response ..?? But .. like we said, "it will be a time and place of our choosing". Let them sit and wonder when and where we will hit them. Let them cower in their hideouts. When we move, just like in Iraq - it will be overwhelming.

Falluago delenda est. I pity them if they had been around the Romans. None of them would have survived. Who remembers the Carthaginians?

Here is the deal.
The Iraqi Sunnis are on the bubble, trying to figure out if there is a future for them in American-controlled Iraq, as anything other than slaves.
They know that they treated the rest of the country shabbily, and expect that same treatment. *If* that happens, they figure that they might as well go down fighting and take as many of their enemies with them, to increase their bodyguards in Hell. If you are going to die, you might as well die fighting.
On the other hand, *if* the United States convinces them that they will be treated justly, and that they and their children do have a future, why die? Turn over the dead-enders and be done with it. Join Greater Iraq.
The animals that ambushed that convoy in Fallujah were trying to accomplish one of three things:
1. Lure American soldiers into an ambush trying to rescue the bodies. We did not fall for that.
2. Drive the Americans into flattening Fallujah, creating a massacre that will convince the rest of the Sunnis that they are all going to die, thereby triggering massive resistance to the American occupation. Well, so far, we have not done that either.
3. If the Americans do not immediately counterattack or flatten Fallujah, declare Fallujah "Free Iraq," and convince the world that we are too scared to fight. Well, I don't think we will let that happen, either.
What we are going to do is go into Fallujah, and go through it block by block. The Marines will use the roads to partition the city, and set up teams to intradict movement. Snipers will be positioned to smash resistance.
Once the city is isolated and partitioned, teams will go through each block, and arrest anyone associated with the attack. Those foolish enough to have been captured on video will be taken away and interrogated. Before long, the vast majority of the goats will have been separated from the sheep, for a trip to the gallows or Gitmo. That will be a few thousand, max. The rest of the city will be left alone.
They will then get a chance to think over what happened. They will be less likely to act again -- and if they do, why we will haul off the perps again.
And the rest of the Sunnis will have received a powerful message.

I think you missed the Administration's comments. The response will be measured, and decisive. Don't rush to a conclusion that this is the same Commander-In -Chief.
