"After all the blood that was shed, and the lives that were lost, we shall only accept God's law in Fallujah," said cleric Abdul-Qader al-Aloussi, offering a glimpse of what a future Iraq (news - web sites) may look like as the U.S.-led occupation draws to a close. "We must capitalize on our victory over the Americans and implement Islamic sharia laws."

Time to finish the job? I agree. But, unfortunately, I fear our troopers died in vain in this city. That angers me! I do not think we will finish the job.

Men in suits should have never had a hand in something that the men in uniforms should have been allowed to handle. The PC aspect of this war is glaring. It may cost Bush the election. I guess politicians never learn from history.

Sounds like the perfect place to have a major sarin accident.

so, we killed 1000 or so in fallujah...
the slammies have birthed another 20,000 in the same time.
abu is laughing at our "success" and sewing up prayer rugs and burqua's for their "end of the decade" sale in mecca.

unless we go for a death rate that is more than double the islamic birth rate... radical islam will wipe us out... it is a demographic certainty.

we cannot educate the masses fast enough to save ourselves... nor can we kill them in miniscule lots, whilst they duplicate faster than flesh eating bacteria.

we have put two or three bandaids on a spreading planetary cancer... islam. Bush is doing the best he can, with the current 50/50 near split in America's psyche...

after the slammies hit us a time or two... we will be ready to glass their arses... but until then, we are in what amounts to a pseudo "holding" action, that in the end we MUST lose, due to sheer numbers.

Our country has turned into a bunch of pansies. We should have leveled this place, literally. I am so disappointed. This only encourages the Islamic freaks of the world into trying bolder things like killing Americans on American soil. This only reinforces their perception that if they put up a fight, the Great Satan will run and hide (i.e., Lebanon, Somalia, Vietnam). I'm beginning to wonder if they are right.

We should have done a Grozny on this place and made their children's children remember the sound of American firepower. This will bite us in the ass.

I agree wholeheartedly. The sad part is that the suits didn't make this call. It was a USMC general.

These aren't your average run-of-the-mill sunnis doing this.

Time to give to Kurds some very nasty weapons and tell them to deal with it - and we'll keep the media out.

it's a standoff at the perimeter of Fallujah, where there had been a standoff at the border of Iraq for the past twelve years.

I have a bad feeling that many mini-Islamic city-states will emerge in Iraq after the US hands control over.

Pshaaaaw. We are getting some mini-Islamic city-states here in America.

You could add the 1991 retreat from Iraq. Saddam Hussein felt enboldened. We did not have a coalition agree to us toppling Saddam at that time (only pushing him out of Kuwait). Saddam never did follow the UN resolutions and some of the weaponry he used in 2003 was prohibited.

Let me tell you what the future holds for Iraq. The vast majority will be muslim capitalists. There will be a tremendous growth in property ownership. There will be jobs available that the population can not fill. There will be a growth in freedom for the individual that is already in existence and it cannot be reversed. The muslim religion will adjust to this new power for the individual. The muslim religion will flourish under this new culture. There will be nitwits in the population that will try to change everything. Just as the Democrats here in the USofA. It will be a contiuous battle that never ends. Just as it is here in the USofA. Live with it!!

Yeah, I believe they are just taking out Sadr first, then they will begin to work on fallujah again. I don't think they were prepared in fallujah the first time. Didn't see a lot of heavy armor and you can count on one hand the days they had proper air support. They will have no choice but to clean up fallujah, that is where the foreign fighters (terrorists) are and we have to kill every one of those SOB with a rag on their head carrying an AK or RPG. G-D I hate the sight of those bastards!

"Perhaps it's time to finish the job."

That’s like saying perhaps it’s time to ask the cute girl sitting next to you 10 years ago out to the high school prom.
