What do *I* think? I think the military in Iraq is not equipped to know who *is* a civilian, and that mistakes are made. Maybe even all the time.
I think that the soldiers that are there are dong their best to do a job that really can't be done with the resources that are available to them, that this state of affairs not only was predictable, it was predicted, and that the Bush administration demonstrated a negligence and disregard for the facts and for human life that could well be come to be viewed as criminal when all the facts are out. That's what I think. Yeah, terrorist is probably a stretch, but there are people out there who think it and believe it, and have some basis for believing it. There's at least as much evidence to support the label as there is to support the assertion that we're there to bring democracy and women's rights ;) Dana On 8/19/05, Jerry Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do you think Bush ordered the US military to target civilians and > other non-military personel in Fallujah? > > I don't. > > There were casualties amongst the civilian population, but that was > more in the line of collateral damage than intentional. > > I agree with Brian (this once) that that is a stretch. > > On 8/19/05, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > still playing devil's advocate - please explain Fallujah in this context? > > > > Dana > > > > On 8/19/05, G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > A terrorist willfully, intentionally, and knowingly attacks civilians and > > > other non-military personnel in an attempt to coerce the governing head of > > > that group to relent to his/her demands. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:170384 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
