I could care less if 1 million Iraqi civilians die.

Well, I could. We didn't go there to kill a million civilians. I trust the commanders on the ground to adjust the rules of engagement as necessary to handle a fluid situation. Civilian deaths are something we should try to avoid where possible. That doesn't mean we avoid them at all costs.

I don't mean we should just bomb them indiscriminately, I mean that as long as the Iraqi military hides behind civilians, as seems to be their devout policy (the only thing that islam seems devout about is murdering civilians), we should be prepared for that scale of tragedy. It is Saddam's fault, and the fault of his enablers.

I got the first impression you did on his comment... But as I scrolled down and read more posts still pondering his comment, it dawned on me he did not mean it that way.
