Lonesome EJ says, "If a city of Americans, Israelis, or Britons were slaughtered, I very much doubt that Bin Laden would do anything but issue a celebratory video tape."

If a city of Iraqis (Fallujah) were slaughtered, Bush would...?

If a city of Iraqis (Fallujah) were slaughtered, Bush would suppress all evidence, including the attemped assassination of an international reporter and the denial of any wrongdoing.

This was an attempt to wipe out the insurgency and any resistance. Of course this failed and the only thing that was accomplished was the destruction of the city and many of its inhabitants, including women and children.
