Its possible we don't need an all out assault to get the insurgents.

possible yes.
proven NO.

with OUR kids, lets err on the side of caution and assume we DO need it. Bomb them into submission and THEN do the house to house rubble pile searches with body sniffing dogs...

frankly, I don't care for their alleged innocents.
they could have left weeks ago.
they should have.
time to carpet the place.

If I had my way we would have just bombed it to start with and never put a soldier on the ground until nothing stirred but thats not very realistic is it. I do belive I heard someone say last week that our guys had the right to shoot if accosted. I bet they are looking for opportunities.
