1. I must have missed something...

When did the guys in Fallujah get trapped and massacred by a superior force?

3. I was thinking in terms of "fiasco"

Not force or numbers or strategy. Fallujah will be a disaster in the long run because it will spawn more terrorists and insurgents. It will stir up a hatred for the US that will make 9-11 look like a bad fireworks display. The cycle never stops.

Or do you believe 'we're taking the fight to the terrorists'? :crazy:

..."Operation Al Queda Recruiting Drive" since the time it was still just a rumor being denied.

You just happend to pick three instances that pointed to a different (and more specific) type of fiasco. (on edit: which you've now changed, I see)

9. well, not the "guys" so much...

but the "people" have certainly gotten their ass kicked well and good. You know... pretty much any force, let alone the US military is superior force compared to 10 year olds and pregnant women ;-)
