1. Anyone who thought the battle for Fallujah was a plan
...was a f..king idiot.

< 'It will take a security presence for a while until a well-trained Iraqi security force can take over the presence in Fallujah and maintain security so that the insurgents don't come back, as they have tried to do in every one of the cities that we have thrown them out of,' General George W Casey Jr, the top American commander in Iraq, said on November 8. >

Maintaining security in Fallujah or the rest of the Sunni Triangle is a pipe dream. The more troops present, the more casualties will be sustained. Mission Iraq is a failure. All that remains is recognize the truth. I guess will have to wait for a combination of bankruptcy and a sickening increase in casualties, until people realize it will be a diaster on the scale of Vietnam. It already is, people are just too stupid to realize it. Give it time.
