If the US had dealt in a merciless and brutal fashion with the Fallujah
insurgency, the remainder of anyone leaning towards insurgency wouldn't
be
quite so ready to leap out into the street to create problems.

Which is pretty much how Saddam controlled things. Maybe he wasn't
so bad after all? Maybe the people he killed deserved to die?

The U.S. has probably killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did.

This last sentence pretty much destroys your credibility.

Why is that?

Because you obviously are not in touch with reality if you think that is the
case.


The
streets of Najaf were running with Shiite blood. Something never seen
after the Kuwait war.

You really don't know what you are talking about.

What is the official Shiite casualties?

The number given by the U.S. Army is Unknown, but several thousand
wounded, and several hundred dead (300 - 600 probable killed).

Do you know how many tens of *thousands* they believe are buried in Saddam's
mass graves? Ever see the reports of the remains disentered by the Kurds
alone after just *one* of the mass grave areas in their region was
liberated?

Now, what is the source for your alleged quote from the CMC?
