Even more good men would have died had we "gone in there" and destroyed Fallujah as the bloodthirsty armchair posters here wanted.

"Even more good men would have died had we "gone in there" and destroyed Fallujah as the bloodthirsty armchair posters here wanted."

What are you a frigen idiot! You must not be in touch with the realities of the past two years.

And by the way folks. Didn't you bother looking at the time stamp of this article!

It is old news. Oct 12 range and earlier. So don't relate what you read in this article to what is going down on November 4th through November 8th range and beyond.

We must clear the city of all insurgents. The locals as the article admit continue to hate Americans and target our troops. So they must go to! Tough luck for them if they do not like what the foreign elements are doing to their people.
They are so stupid and proud and mixed up they don't know if their coming or going. Don't they have any idea that if they wouldn't have been targeting our troops for so long they would have at least 70 million bucks worth of jobs in their city at this point, and that our guys would be so far removed and quiet at their camps that it would be like we are not even there.
They are just to stupid to figure things out! So let those
155mm Paladin rounds, Abram 120mm tank rounds, various air dropped munitions wake them up a little bit!

You responded to a post from 10/14... Thread was dead until you resurrected it.

Didn't you bother looking at the time stamp? :)

Whoops.............it appeared to be the last one that is
active for replies. Guess admins can't be expected to keep the same article from being posted three times!
Sorry if I caused any problems.

Abu Barra, commander of a group of native insurgents called the Allahu Akbar Battalions, said: "Please do not mix the cards. There is an Iraqi resistance, a genuine resistance, and there are other groups trying to settle accounts. There is also terror targeting Iraqis. President Bush, he said, "knows that and so does the government, but they purposely group all three under the tag of 'terrorism.' "

Hey marine! Do worry if he is local insurgent or not. If he's got a gun shoot him!

They've been talking since April while our soldiers have been dying and the creeps have been reinforcing and digging end.

If they give you troops the chance, do what should have been done back then and stomp them out.
