FALLUJAH

Well, it looks like it won't be long before we are marching to Fallujah, or not. At this point I think we have lost the element of surprise in this assault. By this time the entire city is probably loaded with land mines, booby traps, etc. I think we might find out where all those missing explosives have gone. So, I think we end up with only three choices. We go in and wipe out the city with heavy armour and bombardment. By this avenue we would probably accomplish our goal but we would also increase the civilian death toll by multitudes. But that's OK we're on a "MISSION FROM GOD". The second option would be to send our troops in and basically do a door to door sweep. A couple of problems here . 1.) they've had a long time to prepare for us coming in so we are walking into a well prepared booby trap. 2.) how do you tell the good guys from the bad guys. If you were one of the soldiers going in there your survival would probably depend on you shooting first and to hell with the questions. 3.) not do anything yet even if you have to postpone the elections. With this administration option 3 is probably not going to happen. I say probably because I still hold out hope for . . . I don't know what . . . a miracle. But with the other two options it's just a matter of who receives the bulk of the casualties. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are a nation of idiots. How the hell did we ever elect this guy . . . or did we?
