"What have we seen out of Fallujah since this conflict?"
Zero insurgents turned over.
Zero terrorists turned over for the 4 contractors' murder and mutilation.
If peace at all costs is a victor then we have lowered the bar.
Many insurgents killed.
Zero terrorists turned over for the 4 contractors' murder and mutilation.
We've lost 700 soldiers in Iraq, yet there is no comment from you on the killers of each and everyone of these 700 being "turned over".
Why is that? Is it because there is no emotional group outcry to do so?
The object in a war is to defeat the enemy and not to avenge the death of specific soldiers or even our civilians.
It was the terrorists who wanted us to rip through the town frantically looking for the killers of the contractors. It was the terrorists who were hoping that we would kill many innocent people in Fallujah.
It was the Marines who fought the insurgents in Fallujah -- killing most of them -- and it was the Marines in Fallujah who fought the insurgents until they stopped fighting. And, it will be the Iraqi brigades that will maintain the peace in their new sovereign country.
Meanwhile the hunt for terrorists by our soldiers and special -- shhhh -- forces goes on and that includes the scum killers of our four countractors AND the killers of all other innocents in Iraq including our 700 hero soldiers.
