The bombing doesn't begin at noon, unfortunately, but more likely, the Coalition-sponsored town hall meeting in Fallujah begins after noon prayers. (sarcasm)

I just read that Marine forces on the eastern edge of town were ordered to pull back when this mutilation crap was going down (AP).

We should pull out of this cesspool if that's the case.
I don't care about building a free Iraq. There will never be a democratic country in the Islamic world.

Mark my words, a "Lieutenant Calley" episode involving our forces and these savages is on the horizon. Won't be pretty.

Unfortunately, you are right. There will never be a democratic country in the Islamic world. You can't impose democracy on a country.

We need a Lieutenant Calley in Fallujah and then level the politicians who wants to level Calley.

"I just read that Marine forces on the eastern edge of town were ordered to pull back when this mutilation crap was going down (AP)."

Why in the hell were they ordered back!? Why didn't they move into the city and capture or kill these guys and stop this from happening? I don't understand why our troops weren't sent in to get these corpses as soon as we knew about the attack so we could have prevented this. The stories I keep reading say no Iraqi police or U.S. troops have been in the area since the attack. I assume we have the bodies in our possession now, right? Who got them and when did they get them?

I was expecting more news of Marines carrying out tougher measures but everything seems quite there. It's disappointing because there should be something big and dramatic coming from us in response to this. Does anyone have any updated stories on what our Marines are doing over there today?
