The Marines and Iraqi security forces were poised to enter the city to arrest suspected insurgents

Am I the only one who prefers that the U.S. Marines kill people, rather than "arrest" them?

Because of this

I agree. We need to kill these scumbags who mutilated the Americans. We need to be doing a lot more killing over there. Guys who could be a problem need to be killed instead of detained. If we detain these guys a lot of them just get released sooner or later. Then they go back to their old ways. As long as we allow those people to be free they will cause us problems. We also need to kill that piece of Shiite Sadr. He's done enough already and should be killed instead of warned.

A saying of yesteryear comes to mind that seems to fit this situation:

Kill'em all and let G-d sort'em out.

I want to see our "good buddies", the Iraqis, finally do something about Hussein's murderous henchmen in the town of Fallujah. We've already seen hundreds of Iraqis blown up in Baghdad by these bastards, and have been told repeatedly that the majority of Iraqis are with the US. Fine! Then let the Iraqis we've trained and armed go after the remnants of Hussein's killers with everything they've got. If they truly are with the US, and they truly want a free Iraq, then there should be no problem in fielding an Iraqi army capable of defeating these murderous Hussein holdovers.

If this can't be done, then we've already lost the war!

Believe me, you are not alone. I want those dancing around cheering killed also. They are no different than the actual murderers. Let's kill them before they kill anymore of us. The world will be a lot better off without them.

No! You are NOT the only one. I am so sick of this "compassionate war" - if you are going to fight a war then FIGHT the damned thing. Collateral damage is sad, but better them than ours.

[Taxman]

Not at all.

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

I think 'kill' is exactly what they are planning to do. They say 'arrest' for the benefit of the left who are unable to handle such realities.

[sheik yerbouty]

No you're not. They don't need to arrest the jihad vermin, they need to eliminate them. You don't want an army of trial lawyers getting their mitts on this.
