FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - At least 450 Iraqis were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in fighting in the city of Falluja this week, the director of the main hospital, Rafi Hayad, told Reuters

U.S. Marines launched a major mission last weekend to confront guerrillas in the town. The U.S. military said on Friday it had agreed a temporary suspension of offensive operations in Falluja.

That's a heck of a dent if your militia is only 6,000 strong.

Hopefully this hospital is secured by US Marines.

Not to mention the standard ratios of injured:KIA, which will leave them with well over 1,000 injured. That is simply unsustainable.

At least 450 Iraqis were killed

To which Bagdad Bob responded: "They are not killed; they are just resting up for Mother of All Battles, soon."

They thought they were goading us into a trap by desecrating the bodies last week. I guess the joke's on the jihadists. Engaging US Marines in running rifle battles by hip firing AKs at them is not a winning proposition.

If a guy comes in to the hospital unconscious with a sucking chest wound, how on Earth do they know if this wounded "person" is Iraqi, and not Syrian or Iranian?

The media isn't even bothering to try to estimate the percentage of non-Iraqis who are the ones shooting at our troops. There are plenty of those snakes there, and more than just a few.

I called the White House this morning.

I urged the President to publicly warn both Syria and Iran that further medling in the internal affairs of the new Iraq will not be permitted.

I suggested that a price be payed by those two rogue governments.

For every cell of foreign fighters uncovered, the home countries should lose some infrastructure like the power grid or a refinery.

I'll bet the agitators would head home quickly.

If not, it certainly would afford an excuse to destroy a nuclear facility or two inside Iran.

Just might be what the doctor ordered for the perculating pro-democracy movement to boil over into a full-blown revolution.
