#1 How unfair: rebel fighters in tennis shoes!

Somehow that embedded Globe reporter missed the two dozen torture sites, the chemical weapons manufacturing facility, the headless bodies tossed out in the street, the Taliban-like Morality Police imposing their version of Islam on the hapless locals....

#2 Or that they are not using homemade rockets, but RPGs delivered in vast quantities by Muslim funding from outside Iraq. Or the piles of bodies of men who refused to fight against the Americans, executed by the foreign terrorists.

#3 The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Newell, said US forces could never apply a ’’Fallujah method" to other insurgent hubs in Iraq, such as Mosul and Baqubah, where civilian life continues more normally amid rebel activity.

If there's any truth to this, then a "Fallujah method" isn't necessary. In order for that sort of tactic to be used, the conditions have to be similar to Fallujah, which apparently isn't the case at this time. Things can always change tho, so it's never wise to rule out anything.
