Graveyard Fallujah

About Fallujah.

1. As you may know, we're attacking.

2. Rumsfeld said today that large numbers of civilians will not be killed by US forces. Really? How so? There are still, by some counts, 100,000 civilians left in the town of 200,000. How exactly are we going to avoid them this time when in every other engagement we've killed quite a lot of them?

3. We've apparently forced over 100,000 people to flee the town. 100,000 people. That's nice. Sure, it's a bit Israeli, if not downright Slobodan, but hey, as long as we keep saying we're the good guys, I'm sure those 100,000 people who had to flee their homes are singing the praises of red states right about now.

The only saving grace is that this is now George Bush's quagmire to deal with, and not John Kerry's. Bush may get to serve in "Vietnam" yet.
