61. strawmen, get your strawmen here! only tuppence!
Edited on Wed Apr-07-04 04:05 PM by northzax
It is a generally accepted rule of debate that if you accuse one side of something and not the other, when both are guilty, you favour one side. I don't believe you are an attorney representing the locals in Fallujah, and yet you have nothing negative to say about them. Interesting that I seem to be able to condemn actions on both sides, and you only attack one. huh. I'll give you another opportunity to denounce the use of human shields, surely you'll take it on your fifth post. right?

and I know you don't like the 'american media' so I found you a link fro mthe BBC patiently explaining that the Muslims in Falluja are Sunni Muslims, as I said. Wow, me ignorant, just like the bbc. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3608315.stm so you still have fifteen minutes to edit that foolishness out. I'll post it here, so you know which section to get rid of:

Your ignorance is also showing, these are SHIITES, Saddam was a SUNNI, you do know the difference don't you? Shiites are over 60% of the population.

You know how you find out if the people disagree with something? you take a vote, you don't listen to the rioting crowds, you don't negotiate with those who have so little regard to their fellow citizens that they would put them in harms way. And that is, after all, what the CPA was nominally trying to do.

And I refer you to the same bbc article claiming that the Mehdi militia is comprised of fewer than ten thousand men.

Homonyms really are a bitch, ain't they?
