#1 Whether a mistake at the time or not, the delay in Fallujah seems to have done a pretty good job inoculating some of the local population, as the extended Sadr nonsense did in the south.

#2 "it is sometimes hard to tell what has been damaged by war and what has simply fallen down. "

Ah yes, the hallmark, the epitome, of Arab civilization.

#3 'OVER the rubble-strewn streets of Fallujah the voice from the loudspeaker on the minaret is no longer a call to jihad, destruction or death. '

#5 Personally I like dogs. Don't really give a rats ass about dead terrorists though.

#6 Whether a mistake at the time or not, the delay in Fallujah seems to have done a pretty good job inoculating some of the local population,..

The sobering reality is that this was bought with American lives. I'm still not convinced of the wisdom of this let-them-stew-under-Wahhabi-rule approach, but if Fallujans can take the opportunity they've now been given, run with it, and KEEP it, then maybe some of those Marines' lives weren't lost in vain.

#7 those poor dogs -they are even more mistreated than the Muslim women - who have a status far below our four legged friends.

I'm glad those poor mistreated muts are getting a good meal. Enjoy, poochies.
