Too effing bad. Instead of whining, my advice for these "poor" Islams is get busy rebuilding, and keep the terrorists from using their city as a base ...
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, on a suprise pre-Christmas visit to Iraq...Apparently Reuters eschews spellcheck.
Perhaps if some of these locals had assisted in ridding this craphole of a city of the thugs the U.S. wouldn't have had to kick butt.
Simply by informing of where the weapons caches and gurillas were we wouldn't have had to make an example.
As it is I hope a rat won't be able to live ever again in this graveyard.

I guess material possesions are more important than freedom to some. Amazing how some people love surpression, hate and misery.
Straight off the top - If these timid, domination loving "Civilians" would simply muster up the backbone to take a stand against the Terrorists all of this could have been avoided. IMO They are blaming the wrong side - That is if they aren't on the Insurgents side.
They don't realize that the real animals have been removed?!
While I feel sorry for the inocent people, it's their problem not ours. I suggest that they help clean up their own mess and quit whining.
al-Reuters is at it again, I see. I'm glad they're on our side. < /megasarcasm>
These are the types of scumbags who believed Allah wanted Kurd women and children gassed and thrown into mass graves. Iraq needs a serious purge of these hatemongers.
Perhaps those people should have shot their Islamic "brothers" themselves, but no, they all think and hate alike.
Are they ever anything but angry?
I've said all along, we should just save them the trouble and FLATTEN the place. A few bombing raids reminiscent of WWII would have save a lot of US Marines. Time to skip "winning hearts and minds" and get to the business of killin'.
Arabs are critical by nature. We could have built them palaces in their absence and they would have come back and complained.
They should consider themselves lucky....if I had anything to do about the place, I would have leveled that hell hole.
These whining Sunnis let their mosques be used as military instalations. They deserve NO sympathy and NO US taxpayer money. They should bulldoze the city and make this bunch of death worshipers disperse throughout the country instead of rebuilding these festering cockroach havens that will just be a source of grief for the fledgling government after the elections. I hope the Shiites show these Saddamites the same mercy he showed to them the last 20 years.
Iraq's government has said it will pay $2,000 compensation for partial damage to homes, $4,000 for substantial damage and $10,000 to those whose homes were completely destroyed -- far less than Iraqis say they would need to rebuild their homes.

nice editorial comments. I've read that Iraqis get paid somewhere in the range of $4 a day so a totally destoryed home would net about almost 7 years worth of labour... If the house was a shanty then this is a huge profit!
"Even animals who have no human sense and feelings can not live here,"
Being that even animals have a social structure this sub-species makes a pretty good point.
