We are cheering when they kill terrorists from Al-Qaeda, (these people you allegedly call murderous butchers), not when there is a friendly fire incident or we accidently kill women and children because cowardly terrorists use them as human shields. I have not seen one post of anyone cheering over a dead civilian Iraqi.
You did carpet bomb villages (remember Fallujah?), and people still call it “restraint”. HH calls on “burning the nest”, “carpet bombing”, and “a land where the buffalo roam”. If that’s not cheering up genocide, I don’t know what is. For heaven’s sake, the guy’s inspiration is Ann Coulter!
Watch the CNN special about Falusia. They did not carpet bomb the city, the let the women and children out before the actual invasion and went in house to house clearing the city of terrorists. In one event, a group of men waving a white flag were let through by the troops.
The next time the soldiers saw these men, they had guns in their hands and were shooting at troops. So they did not carelessly shoot civilians as you like to think. [/quote]
“On November 8, 2004, the assault began in the early hours by intense bombing followed by an attack on the main train station which the Marines would later use as a staging point for follow-on forces. By the afternoon, under the protection of intense air cover, Marines had entered the Hay Naib al-Dubat and al-Naziza districts.”
[i]"The city suffered extensive damage. Fallujah was referred to as the “City of Mosques”. Before the war, it was estimated that the city had 200+ mosques; some claim 60 of these had been destroyed in the fighting.
Perhaps half the homes suffered at least some damage. About 7,000 to 10,000 of the roughly 50,000 buildings in the town are estimated to have been destroyed in the offensive ([5], [6]), and half to two-thirds of the buildings have suffered notable damage."
“At least one prominently-placed person within the U.S. military establishment, an unnamed USAF Colonel in charge of planning urban bombing operations, has expressed grave doubts about the necessity and appropriateness of the degree of force used at Fallujah, drawing a comparison to the Wehrmacht’s debacle at Stalingrad during World War II, and explicitly indicating that the U.S. public is not being presented with a forthright assessment of what happened when U.S. forces besieged the city.”
