A Level Message
Fallujah is isolated and surrounded. We've already told women and children, and anyone else who doesn't want to get killed, to leave. It is sealed off per request from the Iraqi government. Why should our troops go in and risk casualties fighting door to door?
I say we take to the air, and flatten the damn place, and kill everyone whose chose to stay. We need to show 'em the rules have changed. After all, they've been warned, and we have to assume everyone remaining inside is an IslamoFascist Terrorist pig.
They would do it in a heartbeat, if given the opportunity.
We will never make any progress in this war on terror (which we didn't start), unless we show them we can play by their rules. To hell with world opinion, lets do what is necessary to win.
I say we use conventional weapons, and make Fallujah go away. I would also make it known, that a Mosque is no longer a place to hide or store weapons.
We need to send a message to these people pigs.
I've heard that the terrorists in that city have prevented a large number of those very women and children from leaving, despite the fact that they do not support the terrorists.
Should we kill them, too?
I am reminded of a quote I posted about 10 minutes ago:
He who fights monsters should look into it that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you.
