They were waging war...Haditha is the next Fallujah....someone in the terrorist camp just announced by the Marine killings yesterday and todays dead....that there is something of value in that stinking town.

The Marines will now dismantle the hell hole now to see what that something is...

A huge can of whoop ass is about to get opened on Haditha.

Even if true, after all this time, the Iraqis should have an army and should be doing this themselves by now.

You say they are "waging war". Sorry, but that is not true. They are waging a politically correct "kill them softly" campaign. Since day one, they have fought with one hand tied behind their back and the other hand restrained politically.

If the Marines were truly "waging war" this thing would have been over with two years ago.

Just ask any Marine (like two of my nephews over there who tell me this).

Marines have been in Haditha a long time. So, whatever you're thinking might be there, would most likely have to be something that recently arrived.

I think it's a terrorist den and is a city on a major conduit or highway for bombers and bombmaking materials heading from Syria to Baghdad and points south.

I pray that you are right and that we disassemble this hell hole with minimal casualties.

Haditha is a choke point on the east-west roadways.

There's always been a lot of IED action around there. Sometimes we'd even hear the blasts and then see the medevac flights take off.

Why not just cart the population out and level the place. No more problems. Heck, we have had to go back again and again to this town. And then after we level it, we level Damascus. Otherwise if we keep fighting this war according to the enemies rules of engagement we will reap what they want us to reap.

And I cannot wait until the day this happens. The sooner the better.

Exactly right (and as others have said, Haditha has been needing this for the longest time. That has been an open secret to those on the ground there)

May God bless these brave Marines we lost and comfort their families.
