#5 Amusingly enough, some liberals are now using this battle as an example of how things are going badly in Iraq, *and* how we should have tried negotiating with these cultists.

Those Thughee obviously just had self-esteem problems, right?

#6 I still say a couple of ARCLIGHT strikes in the right place would change the entire tone of battle in the Mideast. Unfortunately, we don't have any ARCLIGHT-capable BUFFS left. All we have flying are a handful of late G- and H-models.
