#2 All the women and children have to do is walk out - the US will let em go, put them in a refugee camp and feed em there.

#3 "A convoy of three ambulances and one truck carrying food accompanied by some 15 volunteers will try to enter the city Saturday"
I'd blow out each and every one of those tires and ring the whole convoy in razor wire coils for the duration.

#4 Sounds like they let it in.

This is unfortunate as personel will have to be wasted guarding/watching these goons. I hope at a bare minimum that everything going in was searched and all the drivers etc photographed.

#6 " the children in Fallujah are dying and people are eating flour," al-Ubaidi said "

I think the citizens of Fallujah should have got the hell out. They knew well in advance since we advertised it doing the " politically correct " thing. In advertising we were fixing to kick ass, we also let many insurgents flee. Only when we stop letting politics " rule " the decisions will we totally be succesfull in Iraq, until then, the insurgency will be one step ahead.

#7 I hope at a bare minimum that everything going in was searched and all the drivers etc photographed.

Given the Red Crescent's past performance in the West Bank, a thorough search of all their vehicles should be mandatory.

#8 I hope they have some MARLBOROS for the Marines! I hear there is a shortage of them there.

#10 I wrote something up on this. It pisses me off royally. Reuters, BBC and the fair and balanced Aljazeera all were trying to insert the human crisis and civilian deaths into articles this morning.

#11 Hey, folks, what is the surprise here? The terrorists are getting their asses kicked. The only thing left for them is to appeal to the huuuumannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnitarian angle. It is the only weapon they have left.

#12 You bastards are trying to make this sound like a WAR! It's not! It's a police action against a nusiance. Let the cops in to solve the problem! I hate everything! I'm sending James to Lebannon to fly over the zionist entity.

#13 Let anyone in who wants to go in. Only let women and children out; any men who want out had better surrender, be searched, and be put into prison camps for sorting out later.

#15 They seem a little confused about the meaning of "besieged".
