Too bad that Abu Musab Al Zarqawi was given over a Month to slip out of Falujah

I don't agree. Throughout history an army has not been defeated by killing the general, it's done by destroying the army. In fact, history is filled with cases where the general was allowed to go home after his army was defeated.

With Zarqawi alive his army has a banner to gather around. Kinda like ducks in a pond.

Besides, think of the civilian casualties that would have occurred without the chance of them being allowed to leave.

I agree.

Although I do think Zarqawi needs to be killed... just not today.

The strategy of allowing the general and his top people to escape so as to better fight the left behinds is a new one on me. Can you give some examples of that as a successful military strategy? And I don't think that Abu Musab Al Zarqawi is a general who should be allowed to go home after defeating his army,because he can always get another one.

And as far as the civilian casualties go I think it would be better for the civilians to get Abu Musab Al Zarqawi and his top people as quickly as possible. The faster they are gotten the fewer in the long run will be the casualities of the Iraqi civilians and of our people.
