Maj. Gen. Richard F. Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division, said U.S. forces "respect the law of the war, unlike the other side, who uses mosques. In almost every single mosque in Fallujah, we've found an arms cache. We've found IED factories. . . . We've also seen the use of schools for the storage of weapons. This is the enemy that we fight. It doesn't respect the religious mosques or the children's schools."

2. This sounds like a desperation strategy

These jerks must know that they have gained nothing with all of this killing and destruction. Our military is completely worthless. The Iraqis are kicking their collective asses.

3. Oh, heaven forfend. Are they "cheating"?

Hiding in their own mosques? What to the "laws of war" say
about mosques? What horseshit.
