Fallujah was George Bush, Jr's last chance and he blew it.....
Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 07:27 AM by kentuck
He has now turned the entire Arab world against us, including Jordan and Egypt, with his decision to decimate Fallujah. No doubt, there was considerable resistance in the Sunni community toward the American occupation. However, it is a false assumption that Fallujah was the "flypaper" that had drawn all the terrorists inside and now is the opporunity to get rid of them, once and for all.

The death and destruction that is to follow Fallujah will haunt American foreign policy in the Middle East for years, perhaps generations, to come. It is yet another blunder by these so-called "experts" of the Republican War Party. They are like an elephant in a china shop. Few things will be left unbroken once they are led out of the shop...

1. isn't Fallujah
a very important holy site to muslims?
how can these morans think that trapping a cleric
inside a holy city with hundreds of willing defenders
not be anything BUT a really really bad call?

5. That's Najaf you're thinking of
But we're close to the same type of massacre there.

-snip-
US kills tens of Iraqis on Najaf's doorstep

Backed up with helicopter gunships, a spokesman in Baghdad claimed occupation forces had killed 43 Shia militiamen by Tuesday morning.

But hospital sources said of the 28 people seriously wounded in the clashes, only six of them appeared to be militiamen.

2. If America does not toss WHISTLEASS OUT in November
all the terrors of hell will plague us for the rest of America's history.

Bush is truly a moronic disaster. And the worst thing is that his handlers, the CIA, the intelligence community, and his Daddy's corporate puppeteers managing the moron, like Cheney and Rummy, all know it.

America deserves better.

The beasts managing Bush care only for Mammon and bloody filthy lucre and their necrophilic fantasies being lived out in Fallujah today.

Plus we are breeding another generation of killer-warriors who will arrive back in the US bloodsoaked and traumatized (and dangerously so) for life.

we are really fucked unless we can get this idiot out now.

7. I guess you didn't get the memo. Whistleass WANTS to start the LAST
war, i.e., Armageddon A.S.A.P. And he can't do it alone. This is creativity at its nadir.

How 'bout this? Maybe * is the proverbial Anti-Christ. He fits the job description.
