See the missile in flight, fired from a Humvee in the street.
Notice the spent shell casings on the ground ... there are not that many; there would have been more had we used all our firepower on the murderous scum, proving the fact that we gave them a chance, and when they didn't surrender ... well, they started the fight and we finished it.
Now beat Charlie Rangel in the head with that statement since he has called our troops assassins on the Hannity and Colmes show for this attempted arrest of the Husseins.

[French, from Medieval Latin assassnus, from Arabic an, pl. of a, hashish user, from a, hashish. See hashish.] Word History: At first glance, one would be hard-pressed to find a link between pleasure and the acts of assassins. Such was not the case, however, with those who gave us the word assassin. They were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing. Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers, it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish. From this came the name for the secret order as a whole, an, “hashish users.” After passing through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in 1603 with reference to the Muslim Assassins.
Oh....so what happened in Waco was more appropriate than what happened in Tikrit because they gave them more time to surrender??
