Subject: RE: BS: Falluja
I don't have a party line so you can forget that line of attack.

Maybe you can answer this: If all but 10% of the population of Falluja had left before the invasion by the U.S., and the U.S. are claiming to have killed 1600 insurgents, what was the original population of Falluja?

Could it be that most of the dead are actually civilians and that most of the so-called rebels left before the U.S. arrived? Seems they found plenty of evidence of rebel activity but very few rebels. What was the point of telling everyone they were coming and then giving everybody plenty of opportunity to leave? Wasn't this attack really just symbollic?

And another thing - Why is the media calling Iraqis, insurgents? If there are that many insurgents, maybe the U.S. should leave so that the people can just be Iraqis again.

I guess you think that might is right.
