If and when the Iraqi General and his Battalion remove the remaining resistance in Golan, who do you think will have won the war of Fallujah? -- while you look at pictures.

Does the name TORA BORA have any reasonance with you?

The Marines are still surrounding the city and there are no cave getaways in Fallujah.

Now answer my above question.

There will be no reckoning in Fallujah in terms of disarming and neutralizing the insurgents. There will be an Arab deal just as there was at Tora Bora.

How are you going to judge who is an insurgent? The Bathist general certifies the place pacified and the real bad guys exfiltrate to murder elsewhere. The Marines are withdrawn after the administration claims victory resulting from its policy of vietnamization, opps I meant Irakization, and the insurgents renew their control of Fallujah, now in league with our denazified Baathist general.

Meanwhile, the world looks at pictures which show America humiliated and exposed as a paper tiger at Fallujah and a torturer of prisoners instead of a liberator.

I do not like the pictures any more than you do but I am not willing to dismiss their undeniable power when they do not fit my world view.
