Commander: Fallujah Insurgents Hit Hard

Middle East - AP

By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer

....

"The town must be secure before we let the Fallujah people back in," he said. He gave no specific estimate of when that would happen, saying only that it would take "some time."

Sattler said 25 to 30 civilians have been treated for injuries, but he was unaware of any civilians being killed during the offensive.

Considering the pictures we are seeing here, the football field of graves, we can count more than 100 kids - but, of course, these were those terrible foreign insurgents!!

1. Sadly there probably are some
I can assure it's not DU'ers and probably not even a majority of Americans. Even many that support Bush will likely admit that civilians have been killed. But there are some really brainwashed folks in this country right now that believe everything the teevee tell them. Make sure you European countries never cut back on education the way we've done. Look at what's happened.

Idiots.

2. Exactly 49% of us know it's crap.
Unfortunately, the powers that be have figured out that we don't have a majority of electoral votes and are therefore irrelevent to them.

And yes, 51% of us must believe it because no decent person would vote for that idiot if they thought he was allowing our troops to engage is such terrible acts. I choose to believe they are stupid rather than evil. Pray I'm right.

3. 2 days ago NPR reported "Fallujah is 100% secure!"...
...."except for some remaining insurgents and snipers"

Those are the the very words used.
