1. You are correct;
It did make my blood boil.

You do realize that, hidden in those conversations at the end, was proof of war crimes.......well, further proof of war crimes. Shooting the wounded, whether combatants or not, is very much against the Geneva convention.

3. I wonder if this is why Kerry conceded the elections so quickly
The military was waiting for the elections to be over so that they can invade Fallujah, and Military Commanders were totally freaked when it looked like the elections results were going to be disputed like it was 2000.

Guess we'll never know. But it's feasable to me, and Kerry certainly DID know that they were poised to invade, as anyone paying attention to the war in Iraq knew as well.

Just think, it's quite possible that Kerry could have saved a lot of lives and prevented this horrific atrocitity in Fallujah if he did not concede. How else to explain why the Military Commanders wanted to make sure that Bush was re-elected before they invaded?
