"One "good" thing about the Battle of Fallujah is that our Marine snipers will not have any future pangs of guilt about having to have killed two or three dozen "nice boys". The people being killed in Fajullah by our Marine snipers are definitely "bad guys" that need killing and our Marines feel good about their job."

Indeed and I wonder if this is part of the "flypaper" military strategy. If so, it seems to be working.

Yep. Unfortunately, it seems that many on FR consider anything less than the old fashioned "Hey diddle, diddle. Straight up the middle!" Marine infantry tactics to be a sign of U.S. weakness.

We are fighting smart in Fallujah and we are winning.

As Fallujah get progressively depopulated of civilians, only the "flies" will be left on the Fallujah flypaper and we will be turning Fallujah into not only a sniper's "target rich enviornment" but also into an air power and artillery "target rich enviornment".
