We all know that the battle for Fallujah is going to be hell. The difference is that Democrats look at it as an opportunity to critisize the administration. Let me ask you this should we just allow Fallujah to become its own sovereign nation under control of the rebels? Because if we don't go in there and suffer losses that is what we might as well do.

This is about lives on the line in a situation that we should not be in. Fallujah should have never gone this far.
Even the name of the operation is a sugar coated cliche, "Operation Phantom Fury", the name has little relevance to the operation at all but will be endlessly repeated by media whores for the next month. Fox will have 4 way camera's and talking heads explaining why we're doing the right thing there.

People this is about lives no american lives but Iraqi lives by the way one third of the population in Fallujah stayed in the city. Why? because that is their city and those are their homes they don't have a "Hilton" down the road to stay in.
You know how many are going to die for staying in the homes they had all their lives.
100 thousand peopel live in that city.
The coallition "thinks" that is 14 hundred insurgents, whao, it seems that killing about 60 percent of the people in that city is worth it.

In the first place, your post is difficult to read......."Hilton"?

Either way, the soldiers knew that when they signed up that there was a chance that they were going to die for their country. Most of them, I think, didn't bet on that actually happening. You sign up for military service, make sure you are unafraid of death, and are loyal enough to die without question for your country because that, from then on, is your duty.

"peopel".....is English your native language? Or can you just not spell? Same applies to 'coallition" and "whao"
The insurgents in Fallujah must be ruthlessly destroyed, with no survivors left. It's actually that simple.
