Iraq's national security adviser Qassem Dawoud said the massive military operation to retake Fallujah "is accomplished" with about 1,000 insurgents killed and 200 captured.

"The Al-Fajr operation in Iraq is accomplished," he said.

"What is left is evil pockets which we are dealing with now.

"The number of terrorists and Saddam loyalists killed has reached more than 1,000. As for the detainees, the number is 200 people."

However Dawoud said that Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Fallujah insurgent leader Abdullah al-Janabi "have escaped".

He also said about 90% of Fallujah's residents had left the city before the Monday start of the mass ground assault.

It's a great pity that they've lost all the goodwill they gained all over the world in WW2.

Being the Boss has its price.

In the end it's better to be right than to be the recipient of all this supposed valuable "goodwill" from those whose hands are dirtied and have obvious betrayal in their hearts.

The former WWII allies demonstrated their true stripes in the UN food for oil program and that is why they have no "goodwill" for us.

"so how do they justify killing even one person, let alone thousands?"

Fenny, if your family were beheaded by these animals, would you turn your cheek,forgive them and walk away?

The goodwill of Old Europeans is a worthless commodity. Old Europe loves murdering scum like Arafat and Saddam Hussein -- and loves to make themselves rich on money extorted by tyrants. Old Europe truly deserved Hitler and Stalin...they match their current philosophy to a tee.

We'll take care of ourselves, thank you. You don't like it? Then get your armies and come stop us. Otherwise, shut your stupid trap.

Well said! I'm going to nominate you as the Free Republic's European Ambassador.

Somehow I think you have seriously misread your Dad, or neither one of you understands what is going on in the world and that is the source of your obvious confusion on who the real enemy is. The good will begins after the battles are over, and you had better know who your enemy is or you will be swept up in the hysteria while the battles are raging, read much think a little, and shut up unless you are grounded in reality.

Nobody by that name.

1000 dead?

BOOHOO, if we have to pound some sense into these people then so be it, I dont care if it takes 10,000 or 100,000, these arabs will learn that democracy and freedom are the only right choices.

I thought Fallujah was surrounded..
If so how did anyone "escape"...?
Especially anyone remotely resembling the "big guy"..

Good morning.

I had a Catholic chaplain tell me God has no problem with righteous killing. Killing in war is ok as long as the Church approves. He told me the prohibition is on committing murder.
The sky pilot had picked me up hitchhiking back to Bien Hoa and we chatted briefly about morality after he refused to drop me off at a brothel/laundry outside the base. I told him man does not live by bread alone and that he should be more worried about what the war was doing to my soul than what a little fornication would do. He wasn't amused. My profane old First Sergeant thought it was hysterically funny and had me driven back out to see if his laundry was ready.
