Thread Name: BS: Falluja
Subject: RE: BS: Falluja
Of the 1600 dead in Falluja, the Red Cross estimates that 800 were civilians.

Big whoopie-doo! The U.S. killed 800 civilians in Falluja so that they could kill another 800 insurgents. Lets see, 2500 - 800 = 1700 insurgents left.

So if the ratio remains the same, we need only kill another 1700 civilians to wipe out the insurgents. Seems to me that the victory is a bit misplaced.
