As many as 1,600 insurgents in Fallujah were killed so rapidly that streets were littered with 'alarming' number of bodies...(no article linked yet)

[waterman478]

Now we're talking! The kill ratios are back to a respectable level...

[Ptarmigan]

Cool. For one Marine's death is 50 dead terrorists. Not bad. Too bad it is not one dead Marine to 1,000,000 dead terrorists.

[So Cal Rocket]

... a good start ...

[UnionCountyYoungRepublican]

It took us a week to kill the same number that it took them to kill our boys in one year

[SiliconValleyGuy]

You won't be hearing a lot about this from the MSM. But you will be hearing about the odd overzealous Marine who uses "excessive force."

[South40]

More bombs, less bullets.

[GeronL]

Now we're getting somewhere. 1,600 dead is a start

Booyah!

Would these be any of the terrorists that Kerry was moaning about pouring into Iraq?

[Travis McGee]

[endthematrix]

How many more is up to them. I guess that rapper's election slogan, "CHOOSE OR DIE" has some merit.

[Paul Atreides]

Yep, some Red State Atilla the Hun shot a pair of surface-to-air panties at a bunch of terrorists.

[editor-surveyor]

"Too bad it is not one dead Marine to 1,000,000 dead terrorists."

Can you say "neutron bomb?"

And Falujah was a good candidate for one if there ever was one!

Nearly 1,600 insurgents killed in Fallujah : U.S. military

"FALLUJAH: U.S. military officials said that American troops had now occupied the entire city of Fallujah and there were no more major concentrations of insurgents still fighting after nearly a week of intense urban combat.

Maj. Gen. Richard Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division,said Sunday as many as 1,600 insurgents have been killed since the operation began.

Iraqi officials declared the operation to free Fallujah of militants was accomplished but acknowledged the two most wanted figures in the city Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Sheik Abdullah al-Janabi had escaped.

U.S. officers said, however, that resistance had not been entirely subdued and that it still could take several days of fighting to clear the final pockets."

[Paul Atreides]

You just sent untold quantities of DUmmies to the medicine cabinet, for their prescriptions.

[prairiebreeze]

So I've been wondering what they do with all those bodies. Do they get buried? In a common grave or separately? Do they get cremated?

Must smell to high heaven...

[Trippin]

Some news reports state that as many as 2000 were killed, and 500 captured.

[Lancey Howard]

As many as 1,600 insurgents in Fallujah were killed so rapidly that streets were littered with 'alarming' 'gratifying' number of bodies..

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Poor Michael Moore-all those Minutemen shot full of holes...

[Just Lori]

When the higher-ups take the shackles off our troops, the job GETS DONE!

Abizaid Warns Against 'Temporary Alliances of Convenience'

"..A senior military officer here estimated that as many as 1,600 insurgents have been killed and more than 1,000 have been captured in recent fighting in Fallujah. If accurate, the number reflects more insurgents killed in one city in a week than U.S. forces have lost since Operation Iraqi Freedom began. "We've really knocked them for a loop," the senior officer said. "Now, the question is do we knock their leadership for a loop?".."

[Ptarmigan]

Yes, a neutron bomb. Too clean though. I prefer the use of white phospherous and napalm. Now, that is really brutal and much worse then a neutron bomb.

[Jorge]

The more terrorists dead the better off we all are.

[SquirrelKing]

Still sounds low.

[ChildofReagan]

Too bad that it's not...nill to 1,000,000 Terrorists...

Remember, Gen. Patton's axiom: make the other poor bastard die for his country.

[elizabetty]

It took us a week to kill the same number that it took them to kill our boys in one year

Yes indeed, and ours fought like real men while the terrorists planted bombs in the road and ran away like the cowards they are.

[Ptarmigan]

Yeah you're right. What was I thinking? Doh! American Marine's death is bad. It should 0 Marines and 10,000,000 terrorist vermin dead.

[Waco]

CO² emissions dropped how much? Is algorejr cheering?

[GeronL]

I've seen those images of the AC-130 fire at night... it is a terrorist zapper

[Justa]

The media has remained at least 48 hr.s behind in the tally. It makes the Marines look like they aren't doing as well when they cover a present battle but report prior enemy deaths.

2000 is a better number.

[spodefly]

One day closer to Iraqis having their country free from jihadist vermin, and 1600 martyrs in paradise enjoying their virgins.

A win-win.

[chad_in_georgia]

damn it, I want to see al-Zarqawi's ass dead.

[Lijahsbubbe]

As many as 1,600 insurgents in Fallujah were killed so rapidly that streets were littered with 'alarming' number of not enough bodies..

This is a weak man.

[EaglesUpForever]

> 2000 is a better number.

Yes, but 10,000 better still.

[RandallFlagg]

Hell, I want to MAKE Al-Zarqawi's butt dead.

Nice and slow....

The poster,not the marine. :)

"Alarming" to who? The terrorists? The French? The U.N.?

I'm not alarmed, the more dead terrorists in the street the better.

[weegee]

"They" didn't even kill that many unless they were responsible for heart attacks, car accidents in Kuwait, and hundreds of other deaths on "the list".

That list was culled by leftists, not by the military. They padded the numbers. The most laughable inclusion was a woman who unfortunately died while crossing the highway while on leave IN KANSAS. Bush's fault my ass.

[Travis McGee]

Damn right it is!

[Dengar01]

YAY!!! Arafat dead, 1600 terrorists dead, whats next?

[nothernlights]

That Arafat funeral pandemonium reunion of the vile and viscous would have been a perfect opportunity to reduce the world's rats population.

[weegee]

Remember, Gen. Patton's axiom: make the other poor bastard die for his country.

Not all of the "insurgents" are from Iraq. Let's take this to Sudan as well...

Iraqis are dying along side our countrymen to kill these terrorists.

We are not at war against Iraq, only IN Iraq.

Tom Brokaw retires next month.

Still waiting for Dan Rather to step down.

[Txsleuth]

WHEN they find Zarqawi, I would like to see them BRAND Capt. Sims name into the most sensitive skin they can find.

If you don't know who that is , there is a thread about him getting killed in Fallujah.

Maybe they could hang him by his feet from the same bridge that they hung the American contractors from (their charred remains) and the Marines could brand the autographs of the courageous men that died trying to find him.
