On CNN now... civilians all left before battle
Mag Gen Terry Murry:

Makes it easier to kill when you know everyone is insurgent or terrorist

5. If that were true (which of course it ain't), they badly misunderestimated
the number of "insurgents." Do these people think we are ALL fucking idiots?
:grr: :grr:

7. In Vietnam, people who ran were considered the enemy. . .
in Iraq, the enemy is anyone who's dead. I guess you could say we've evolved, though you'd be hard pressed to prove it an improvement.

10. I saw footage of US soldiers handing candy to children in Fallujah...
... proof that all civilians did not leave.

Also read the accounts on Riverbend's blog... she's in Baghdad and isn't experiencing the Fallujah horrors herself, but what she's hearing is shocking.

11. I suppose that also included...
... the infirm, the elderly, the bedridden, the sick, or those women (or families) who stayed behind rather than desert their young sons? Well, the sick or infirm who went to the hospital were blown to bits by our glorious military, along with any medical personnel who might have been able to help others in need. We don't know about the ones who couldn't leave their homes. And those families who stayed behind for their sons or fathers -- who were forbidden to leave -- well, just chalk them up as "collateral damage".

12. And the US is sending them back
From the New York Times, November 13, 2004

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 - Human rights experts said Friday that American soldiers might have committed a war crime on Thursday when they sent fleeing Iraqi civilians back into Falluja.
