You are aware of the fact that the fighters in Falujah were not members of a regular army, and were not playing by anything resembling "the rules of war", right?
You are aware of the fact that terrorists live for the opportunity to open fire on troops or police with the expressed INTENTION of drawing civilian casualtiest? You know that the hope that they can get us to return fire and kill innocents often drives their tactics, right?
You are aware of the fact that by the time U.S. troops attempted to retake Falujah more than enough time had elapsed to allow innocent civilians the opportunity to evacuate, right?
I'm no dummie. I have no doubt that there are more than enough Lt. Calley-wannabes and "Christian" soldiers on a killaragheadforchrist trip on the ground in Iraq, and if they catch those cocksuckers I think we ought to turn them over to the Iraqis for trial as war criminals (not that it will every happen).
But don't get pissy about U.S. troops using nasty weapons to kill bad guys.
