Falluja

I know dude, it's shocking.. Overwhelming force doesnt work in a city, it just destroys the city and civilians who didnt leave their homes.

 
500 of those sand rats dead to our 20 deaths of iraqi and american forces, were kickin ass and givin the people of fallujah democracy

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK BOY

The Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth, The Wayne Gretzky of Newschoolers.com idiots needs no introduction.... but here\\\'s one anyways. John Andrew Steward, a rich kid from Georgia, will not hesitate for a moment to tell you exactly what he\\\'s thinking (and I use that term loosely). His over 2000 posts make him one of the most prolific retards on our list, and he\\\'s become something of a legend on this website, representing the ever-growing intellectually devoid section of the membership here at NS.com. In fact, when the Golden Wheelchair award was first conceived, there was some talk of naming it after him, as a dedication. Also among his qualifications are his being named so often to Crystal-Needs-A-Park\\\'s honorary hall of fame for stupid posts, that the proprietor was forced to abandon the project: Atlantaski simply flooded it too quickly. Further, he had more entries into the original Hall of Fame for Stupid Posts than any other member of Newschoolers.com. Though he went into temporary retirement a few months ago, he has recently returned with a vengeance and, far from missing a beat, has stepped his stupidity up to new heights, recently capturing a GW award for mocking Trevor Peterson. He is fully deserving of his place near the top of this list

 
Many, many of those 'sand rats' you are talking about are merely innocent people being killed in their homes. Killing Iraqis will only make more rise up in anger.

 
no over 3/4 of the city has been evacuated, were trying as hard as we can to minimilize colateral damage

Quit talking out of your ass and prove it...

-People say marijuana ruins your life, I just say I take the scenic route-

-Theory-3 Breath and Stop-

 
Ok, Atlanta ski in response to this 'were trying as hard as we can to minimilize colateral damage'

How does this minimise colateral damage

'The soldiers do not leave their armoured vehicles and tanks.

If they get fired on, they fire back from their tanks or call in air-strikes. '

Basically blowing up anything and everything where some guy popped his head up for an instance! Thats maximising damage.

 
So what you are trying to say is that you care more about an Iraqi peice of shit that most likely wants to blow Americans head off with his AK-47 then an American soldier that is doing what is ordered to do...

-People say marijuana ruins your life, I just say I take the scenic route-

-Theory-3 Breath and Stop-

 
Nope, but the life of some guy fighting for his home(possibly also under orders) is worth no less than some guy who is following orders from a lying, murdering president. Civilians who didnt leave their homes because they had nowhere else to go are being killed by the hundreds and these are the real casualties.

 
Another perspective the US media does not cover, nor the world media.

'63% of Iraqis say that the withdrawal of American and allied forces will not be in the best interest of Iraq, it will undermine the work towards security and control of the country. 27% say that it would be in the best interest of Iraq. 9% had no opinion.

'58% say that terrorists do the kidnappings and assassination of police and soldiers. 9% say that patriots fighting for Iraq carry them out. 32% say ignorant Iraqis who have been brain washed & misled carry them out.

'89% said that the terrorism, kidnapping, beheadings and assassination of police and security forces do not help the freeing of Iraq and the building of a stable country. 6% said that it would help free Iraq and build stability. 4% had no opinion.'

I was talking about this with my roomate today. OK guys here's the plan, route all our units to a single fortified city in an all out war using armored vehicles and air strikes against guerilla fighters. THAT WON'T WORK. WE'VE PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE IN VIETNAM. Ontop of that, the lack of forces in other areas has lead to a drastic increase in terrorist attacks on police and US friendly institutions. This is the worst thing ever. I don't know how Bush is going to get us out of this without alienating the whole muslim world (we are pretty close at doing that) and loosing our remaining allies.

i love how (from what i can gather) they send the iraqi soldiers in first. I havent heard much on how many iraqi soldiers have been killed, its seem like for some reason that their lives arent worth as much as ours, if 50 of them die compared to our one american soldier its still ok

no they dont, they will be sent first to go into sensitive areas like mosques, BUT WE are doing the most work

Graves, your source there didn't really do much of a job citing his own sources... but where those figures, specifically, come from is rather disturbing to me. They're originally from a completely unsupported post on another blog, which immediately followed said statistics with the following: ''Michael Moore, the intellectual leader of the Democratic Party, may believe that the terrorists are patriots and freedom fighters, but the Iraqi people clearly do not agree.'' I'm not exactly inclined to take that source at face value, and it's certainly not a good counterbalance for the BBC. One of Mr. Chrenkoff's readers said the following (and while I don't necessarily agree, a differing perspective is a good thing): ''The depths of your ignorance of underlying problems and willingness to parrot the 'progress' conjured by reconstruction agencies and others whose continued livelihood depends on a stream of 'good news' is remarkable. The opinion poll you cite is just one of many hightlighting complex issues for Iraqis, and to use limited aspects of limited findings is every bit as disingenous as painting all of Iraq a slaughterhouse. Talk to aid groups not dependent on US cash, or Iraqis not being paid by the US government before you tout successes that are unverifiable to say the least.''

It's certainly the case that there are things which are not reported by the mainstream or global media, but that doesn't necessarily give them anything remotely close to the correct perspective on this issues. Just the opposite; such 'private news sources' are assuredly the greatest cesspools of bias you're likely to find. Outside of this site, anyways.

Disclaimer I shouldn't have to add: The last part was a joke.

'no they dont, they will be sent first to go into sensitive areas like mosques, BUT WE are doing the most work'

actualy if you had read the articles you would have learned that:

'From my window, I can also make out that the minarets of several mosques have been toppled.'

Something tells me Iraqi nationals didn't topple the mosques. Something else the media doesn't tell you: Most of these newly trained Iraqi fighters aren't Arabs Iraqis, they are predominantly Kurdish Iraqis from the northern part of the country. In case you didn't know, the Arabs and the Kurds don't get along.

Also, in regards to 'minimizing colateral damage' doesn't sound like they are doing a very good job of it. The entire cities infrastructure is shot, no power, water, food. Massive damage to buildings, including mosques and other sensitive places. The reporter is talking seeing the corpses of women and childeren in the streets.

The reporter described the battle:

'A US armoured vehicle has been parked on the street outside my house in the centre of the city.

From my window, I can see US soldiers moving around on foot near it.

They tried to go from house to house but they kept coming under fire.

Now they are firing back at the houses, at anything that moves. It is war on the streets.

The American troops look like they have given up trying to go into buildings for now and are just trying to control the main roads.

I am sitting here on my own, watching tragedy engulf my city.

A medical dispensary in the city centre was bombed earlier.

I don't know what has happened to the doctors and patients who were there.

It was last place you could get medical attention because the big hospital on the outskirts of Falluja was captured by the Americans on Monday.

A lot of the mosques have also been bombed.

For the first time in Falluja, a city of 1,200 mosques, I did not hear a single call to prayer this morning.

I broke my Ramadan fast yesterday with the last of our food - two potatoes and two tomatoes.

The tomatoes were rotten because we have no electricity to run the fridge.

My neighbours - a woman and her children - came to see me yesterday. They asked me to tell the world what is happening here.

I look at the devastation around me and ask - why?'

Now that 'the insurgent stronghold' is being delt with, shit is going down all over the rest of Iraq, as bad or worse than it was in Falluja. Car bombs everywhere. Reports say police in the city of Mosul are non existant, and that insurgents roam the streets freely with automatic wepons and RPG's.

Police Lose Control of Mosul

an article from the AP about what I was mentioning above.

some of the article:

'Police in Mosul largely disappeared from the streets, residents reported, and gangs of armed men brandishing automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenade launchers roamed the city, 225 miles north of Baghdad. Responding to the crisis, Iraqi authorities dismissed Mosul's police chief after local officials reported that officers were abandoning their stations to militants without firing a shot.

Elsewhere, insurgents shot down a U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter near Taji, 12 miles north of Baghdad, wounding three crew members, the military said. It was the third downed helicopter this week after two Marine Super Cobras succumbed to ground fire in the Fallujah operation.

sounds like Iraq is really excited about these elctions in january!

Thanks for informing us about all the stuff that you know about Iraq from your recent trip over there Jibtech. I am glad that you know so much more than any of the rest of us that have to rely on the media. I really did need to be informed because I didnt know that war was a tragic thing and that people actually die in war. If it wasnt for you and your apparent superior knowledge, I would have no way to really understand what was going on. Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but in the end, it doesnt get you anywhere. Write that down.
 
Keep the media out....that is all I have to say. I know that we should know what is going on over there but I dont think enough people realize that the media effects the war. The media gives hints and leads to the enemy. Not intentionally but they do none-the-less. The media should be banned from being embedded because it leads to the exposure of location of coalition forces. It also does not make sense that the media tapes insurgents with no disregard as they fire shots on coalition forces. the media can blow me

I'll let you in on my little secret, all you have to do is read and ask questions. Everything i've presented in this thread IS from the media. Reliable media. Wait!? I even provided links to these articles. Do you not know how to read? Is that the problem here?
