If these Marine Generals knew it was wrong to stop and retreat in fallujah, their silence was militarily required but if they would indeed had spoken out against it at the time, it might have saved us from the present quagmire. True they would have lost their military career, lost rank, been sent back stateside, but someone has got to risk it and turn these rules of engagement and war strategy around.

September marks the first time we have over 60 KIA for three consecutive months. Since April we have had over 500 wounded every month, for 6 straight months, totaling over 4100 wounded. Only in November and December did we break 500 wounded per month previously.

What do we have to show for it. Fallujah? No, it is still there boiling over with terrorists. Fallujah were Americans were burned, mutilated, and strung up.

Listen to the Marines and start playing hard ball with these scumbags! Time is not on our side, the enemy, given time will learn, will acquire deadlier skills and weaponry.

And every day that goes by, our Young Patriots are falling in this war of attrition that our enemy wants us to wage. We are not going to win a war of attrition with an enemy of 1.2 billion unless we use the appropriate weapons and tactics.

Islam is no religion of Peace - it is a religion of subjugation.
Start by taking out Fallujah in a firestorm of Air and Arty. I don't want to hear anymore about "2 bombs fell here or 4 bombs fell there". More like "Dozens of Aircraft plastered Fallujah until the city was obscured in a giant cloud of dust reminiscent of when the WTC fell." oh yeah give the women and babies 12 hours to haul a$$

I don’t think it needs to be even that destructive to satisfy everyone except our enemy and domestic opposition. Just give the ground commanders there (that means Marines) the preponderance of authority to design an assault and give them the resources they need.

Oh yea, and promise them that that they will not be withdrawn due to objections by the Iraqi Interim Government, The Arab League, The EU, Alawi, Kofi, or Kerry. Just fight the battle like every successful battle has been fought.
