#3 destroying more than 150 houses and killing more than 350 citizens, their bodies still under wreckage,

Analysis of above statement:

1)THEY HAVE NO BODIES! JUST ASSUMING!
2) Calculation which assumption is based upon:
150 houses assumed destroyed
Must be a man and woman in each one giving 300 dead.
300 is too small a number so they added 50.

So there is no proof that anybody is dead based on this story but they managed to spin it into 350 dead.

Pretty good for a mornings fiction writing!

#4 Even assuming that the U.S. operation against murderous militias and insurgents resulted in 350 civilian deaths (proof?), it would not have taken those groups more than a week or two to massacre that number of civilians anyway. Pacifying that country is ultimately the only hope for saving Iraqi lives.
