#1 Locate every single attacker, and shoot them dead. The objective? Fill the Fallujah morgue to the rafters with the bodies of insurgents.

#3 It is past the time for fooling around. Use D9's on Fallujah the way the local highway departments around here have been clearing the interstates of snow -- overlapping fields of plowing, to be repeated until the way is completely smooth and clear.

#4 Actualy, D-9's are a little small for razing cities. Good for individual houses.

I would suggest a D-11. less likely to fall into a open basement.

#5 Our office manager has a son who is a corporal in Fallujah. He called last Monday 3AM. He said the place was really pounded, and eery while everyone was evacuated and the main fighting was over. Ghost town. He and his buddies had some video recorders. They are trying to put together a DVD. If we get one, will try to make more.

#6 Actually I was thinking a B-41... MUCH much less work, but quite a bit louder...

#7 why use all this high tech stuff? Just get a can of gas and a book of matches. Look what big fires have done too cities over the years

#8 The Coalition should do two things (1) Level the Jolan district which was the hub of insergent activity and salt the ground there (2) Move the highway about thirty miles North to cut the majority of travel and trade into Fallujah. This will make attacks upon shipments along the highway tougher, and it will make it easier to spot people sneaking into and out of Fallujah, and eventually this will kill the city and the city fathers will know it. If they want to save the city they will have to do something.
