PLEASE tell me Bill O'Reilly did not go there.
Okay. Right. What happened to in Fallujah was hideous. But let's put what Bull O'Liely said in boldface:
"O'REILLY: I don't care about the - colonel, I don't care about the people of Fallujah. You're not going to win their hearts and minds. They're going to kill you to the very end. They've proven that. So let's knock this place down."
Then, there's this prizewinner:
"O'REILLY: .you know it, the colonel knows it. The colonel and I are disagreeing on the tactics, but we know what the final solution should be."
For the love of all that's holy, sacred and true, Bill, why don't you just put on the funny little mustache and change into your brown shirt now and save time? What a maggot.

Date: 2004-04-01 03:59 am (UTC)Face it, that's pretty much what the whole exercise is about, making an example of Iraq, I mean, it's worked as far as Libia is concerned... They pretty much surrendered.
The problem is, it's almost too easy. They want this big showy battle with lots of explosions and stuff, so it'll look good on TV etc. And they got what really happened, virtually no resistance at first and then suicide bombers. [which don't look good on TV and are difficult to win against.]
So there's this level of frustration amongst the Bushwackers, and they want to end it all in one glorious made-for-CNN blast. That last staement of O'Reilly, that it's not that big a town anyway... That shows just how they think. "Iraq, it's not that big a country is it?"
