on fireThe brutality we witnessed (or, didn't) in Fallujah this week against four American civilian aid workers is said to have been committed by some unknown group of terrorists who claim it was done in revenge for everything from those awful Zionists' extermination of Yassin to the American mistreatment of Saddam Hussein.
Whatever the truth is, the United States cannot permit this sort of thing. We must set up a cordon sanitaire around Fallujah and extract the tumors from that wretched city with extreme prejudice. Just like we did at Tikrit and elsewhere, we'll allow the innocents (few though they be) to leave and then we'll go in and exterminate whatever insects are left behind. But Fallujah must be made to pay for its crimes.
History tells us that pretty much all conquered or liberated countries go through a period of insurgency and counter-insurgency in the aftermath of their invasion. Every American knows now that we have lost far more men in this time of unrest than we did in first taking control. It saddens me to read the names of our young men and women who have died in Iraq and to know what futures they will never know. But I believe in their mission and I honor their courage and sacrifice.
Let's not forget that one of our greatest errors in liberating Iraq is that we did not hammer the Sunni Triangle nearly hard enough. The fucking losers in Turkey are to be blamed for a lot of that, but we still have to accept that we did not do enough to destroy the worst elements among the Sunni at the start.
It's not too late, though. I very much want to learn that we have sent in some major muscle and that we're going to pull some weeds. Soon, please. Make them pay. Burn them out of their own misery, the wretched fucks.
