Not this way
Falluja it has to be dealt with, but not in this way, or maybe the calculations were not very accurate, the retaliation to the attack in Falluja in other part of Iraq were not calculated right but still there are no big problems that Considering the super American power against AK and RBG holders, the problem is whats boiling under the surface and waiting for the triger to explode is over whelming and very grave.
First of all using of some Iraqi troops in Falluja was not the right pick, especialy the core of these troops was mostly if not all Sheia and Kurdish, and you don't want to hit in this cord right now.
for many Iraqis they see Sheia and Kurdish packing an foreign occupier in killing Iraqi Sunni and that not what you want Iraqis to fail into if they didn't yet.
With many calls for revenge and attacks against Sheia and Kurdish started in many places, not coverted that much with the media but they are there, killing and beheading of Sheia and Kurdish is all over the place, and the conclusion of all this is that the decision of trying to put an symbolic Iraqi face to the American attack on Falluja was a stupid decision, and these Iraqi troops only secured the main Falluja hospital after, only after it was taken by the Americans and visibly they had no part in any actual combat in the city, especialy with there poor weapons that I can't understand why they don't get better equipment, probably the American think that their weapons are too suphisticated to the Iraqis.
well the Falluja attack could have been perfurmed in better way? probably, but the good deeds from it will not surplus the bad effect.
With the new video of the killing of an injured captured insurgent by an American soldier you can'd describe the rage that is going through the Iraqis right now.
That will lead only to more violance and blood, but obviously this accident is not an isolate accident for sure there are hundreds others but they are only not on camera and if you analysis it you see:
In day one (first video) a group of American soldiers entring a room with more than 20 dead bodies and five wounded people so what happened? they carry the dead ones with them and leave the wounded?? what?? OK OK they say they treated them and left them behind for others to pick up. that mean they wern't in hurry to finish a fight but they toke there time draging the bodies into black plastic bags then carring them to their vehicles and then drive away!!!
So after a whole day (secound video) when other soldiers came by and found the building, so they shot three of the wounded (off camera) and when more soldiers with a reporter came in they shot the fourth guy and they were very close of finishing the fifth.
Hit them hard
The plan is easy!!
but guts are needed, cut them inside with only food going in, no one get out or in till they surrender all their weapons and the terrorists.
or give the civilians 48 hours to get out and then storm the city.
but Falluja is needed to be taken one way or the other
Falluja is the key
Falluja must get into the government's hand, for the terrorists it is their base for planning and staging their attacks, without Falluja it will be more difficult for them to maintain the resent level of insurgency. And they will be defeated sooner than letting them have Falluja for more time.
But on the other hand the Iraqi forces still ill equipped with AK's and pickup trucks, give them M16 and humvees, and treat them like they will be able to do it alone some day, not just using them to put an Iraqi face to the coalition operations.
In the remembrance
In the remembrance of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Children who perished in this stupid war (Since 1990) to bombs, missiles, hunger, terrorists, and diseases, I post this poem:
To the people of the World:
This is the story that must be told
Of an Iraqi baby, not very old
Lying in her crib on a star-lit night
How could she know of those planes in flight?
She lies there quietly touching her nose
Watching her mobile, wiggling her toes
Oohing and Cooing, so sweetly is she
Talking someone, Who could it be?
An angel is standing with her in the room.
The baby is smiling, unaware of her doom.
The crib starts to shake and the mobile goes round
Then suddenly comes the most deafening sound
The ceiling drops in, in a second or two...
On her crib so she ceases to coo...
No one knows how long she lies there
Who thought about it? Doesn't anyone care?
Is she alive? Is she dead? Is she in pain?
Now that you mention it, who knows her name?
Her name is Amal, in English we say Hope
Crushed between the rubble, her tiny fingers start to grope!
Where is my Mommy? I love her so dear.
Come get me Mommy. It's dark in here
I'm scared and hungry and I can't see my feet
There's blood in my mouth, give me something to eat!
Where is my daddy? Where's my big brother?
It hurts when I breathe, Where is my mother?
How long have I been here? Is this just a dream?
I open my mouth, but I can't even scream!
They appear again by my side
This time with a tear I plead... Why have I died?
Am I alone in my suffering? No, there are many others
In our grief and misery, we are all sisters and brothers
Who are we, I ask you... For what crime did we die?
They're throwing a party! Doesn't anyone cry?
Is it true? Am I nothing? How could it be?
It is war they say, of which death is a part.
How blind they've become, how hardened of heart.
Did someone say hero? To whom they speak?
A victory claimed for killing the weak?
Why are they happy? Why are they proud?
Dont they know I'm cold in my burial shroud?
No war has been won; no ifs, buts, or maybes:
they've only killed babies........
