Many Dead in Fallujah Airstrike

Situations like that today really test the whole fable that we've turned Iraq over to the Iraqi people.

US troops aren't leaving. In fact, more are due to arrive than will go. Iraqis, Americans, and others are in terrible danger. In fact, while we naturally pay more attention to American military deaths, they're just a small fraction of the civilian Iraqis who die in various attacks (and sadly, probably by the military hand as in Fallujah, where we say again and again we're going after insurgents but it usually comes out that probably innocent civilians died instead).

Whenever we decide, we can bomb the hell out of whatever target we choose.

All June 30th (which became June 28th) was was a shell game for Election 2004.
