Iraqi rebels dividing, losing support Fallujah is now emerging as a symbol of the splintering Iraqi resistance. The mutilation of six Shiites widens the divide.

Democrats and other traitors will blame President Bush for this. It is his fault the Iraqi terrorists are losing support.

A sad truth is that the Fallujah tactics employed by the Marine's was BRILLIANT tactically, and IMO will be remembered and studied years hence for the "big picture" and tactical masterpiece it was.

The sad part is that it took letting the animals loose on a population, for that population to see the truth. It was NECESSARY though. Much like it took foisting Bill Clinton on America for some to see the light (electing W over Gore)--that character DOES matter. I've often thought of the paradox that it took Bill Clinton defeating Bush41, IMO, for George W. to be motivated to become President (along with Anne Richards in Texas). If we had flattened Fallujah a short term victory could have turned into a disaster...now what was thought by some to be a disaster may well have been a masterstroke. Kudos to the Marines for an amazing job.
