#1 Kill'n muslims ya say? Bring on an Islamic court and we'll get to the bottom of this. Prepare the stones Abu!

Falluja, allah's bedroom.

#2 Let's see...if a Muslim slaughters 5 innocent Muslims that's Okie-Dokie? The ~~Korrupt~~ Koran teaches it is a sin to kill another Muslim....unless there are infidels killed in the process. or unless you are a ~~shit-tite~~ shiite and the other is a sunni/kurd/whatever. or unless you are a sunni and you execute a ~~shit-tite~~ shiite because the families couldn't come up with the money.

That makes perfect sense to me. No wonder the Middle East is a cesspool and Islam is bankrupt.

#3 Ah, now this sounds like real Arabian stuff: kidnapped innocents and ransom demands, casual sectarian killing, corrupt or incapable police, if we had a little clan on clan violence involved it would be the whole shebang. It also sounds like the fearful tale of a 12 yr old Arab boy. There is no difference between the two, when you think about it.

Funny thing is we may now be seeing what the Fallujah ~~settlement~~ ~~Brigade~~ Thingy is worth: nothing. The cops aren't cops - they're Sunnis and probably Ba'athists and either outgunned by the bad guys that were not wiped out in Fallujah back in April-May - or in league with them.

Wahhabi Syrians? Not Qom-inspired, eh? Lol - wotta whole regions of 'tards and losers.

Mebbe the wonderful General Latif should be given 48 hrs to deliver the killers in cuffs - or be dismissed as yet another lamer.

If he fails, recall the Marines camped out in their loose cordon around the city, march the Fallujah Brigade back into the city, since a fair portion came from the jihadis that were allowed to live, issue an ultimatum that contains all of your heart's desires (the killers, all weaponry and ammo, a pony, etc) and give the city 48 hrs to deliver the lot. If they don't, reduce Fallujah to the rubble it should have become back in March-April of 2003.

Ramadi - rinse, repeat.

What was that "wedding party" village where the Syrians were being pipelined into Iraq? Al Qa'im? Rinse, repeat.

I believe that the Sunni Triangle will be a sore spot forever, of exactly this sort of thuggery and sectarian BS, until pacified by brute force.

#4 We will see a lot more of this as Iraqification proceeds. The Sunnis will be the big losers. The Kurds out gun them and the Shia out- number them, and Kurd and Shia territories don't border each other (except for a very small mountainous area).

#5
Wonder what Sy Hersh would say about a 12 year old being tortured by US troops? And yet, not a peep about this.

The article was posted at midnight, and now it's already 7:45 a.m., and still there's not a peep about this from Sy Hersh!

#6 when the USMC was pushing into Fallujah, the US was the issue. Now the Fallujah wahabis are the issue - with their internal oppression, their murder of Shiites, etc. Kinda like what happened in Karbala and Najaf - let the baddies hang around till everyone gets sick of them. I think this may be the (default) strategy in Fallujah as well - setting up Fallujah for "handling" by Iraqi forces (NOT the Fallujah thingy) once they are capable enough.

#7 and Kurd and Shia territories don't border each other (except for a very small mountainous area).

Ah! So!

Read Rantburg a year ago for a nice Fallujah (allen's bedroom indeed) piece.
