Poll: Brutal killings in Falluja.....what should be done?

khaml001 · 04-01-04, 05:40 PM

What needs to be done to amend the tragedy in the town of Falluja?

My own opinion of what needs to be done to those responsible is far from 'humane'!

Where is the "Leave Iraq and let them sort out their own crap" option? :P No disrespect to the dead, it was a horrible crime, but its a danger zone right now...

khaml001 · 04-01-04, 05:59 PM

Is that really an option right now? With the possible transfer of power right around the corner, do we really want to waste all the good work that has already been done? JMO...

Allow the women and children to leave before going in with troops and then hang Saddam from the bridge along Bagdad Bob.

Allowing the women and children to leave before we go in would allow some of those responsible to get away. If you followed th news on this event you would see the 12 year old boy saying how proud he was for helping tear apart the bodies. This was not a few people involved, this was a whole community. Look in the background of the videos and you will see the women cheering.

I saw that. It was a sad sight indeed.

I voted option 4.

they need to level to whole damn town!... and that includes the women & children!
One report says a 10 year boy "grinds his foot on the head of one of the victims!, while the crowd cheers him and chants "death to america""
kill them all and let allah, budda or whomever they worship figure it out...

Ditto!

My initial reaction is to kill them all.

But after thinking about it, how would that make us different than the butcher of bagdad?

In ancient times, the response would be to round up 100 citizens at random for each killed and crucify them... but we live in modern times.

The world is busy being mad at Sharon for that air-to-wheelchair assassination; I hope the American response doesn't bring us back into the spotlight.

My opinion as an old combat vet, is to ring the town move in and do a house by house search and purge. This will force the insurgents out and into the center. This way we can remove the stingers from the hive.

P.S. The world is now just feeling what Israel has felt for years.

sheepy · 04-02-04, 12:23 AM

That sounds like a reasonable course of action, joel.

I'm not sure about the world feeling what Israel has felt for years though... feeling what it's like to go turf people off land they've inhabited for centuries then act the victim when people hate you for it, you mean? linky

As they used to say when I was in the military:
"Nuke 'em 'till they glow and shoot 'em in the dark"

Well, Ok, perhaps a little excessive...
