Fallujah: And Now for the Rest of the Story
The Donovan finds and posts a 59-slide presentation created by the 1st MEF (Marine Expeditionary Force) Effct Exploitation Team. It is filled with photographs and lots of fun facts like these (slide 2):
| Total Number | |
| Mosques in Fallujah | 100 |
| Mosques used as Fighting Positions / Weapons Caches | 60 |
| Hospitals used as Defensive Positions | 3 |
| IED Factories | 11 |
| Slaughter House / Torture Chambers | 3 |
| Number of Major Weapons Storage Areas in the City | 203 |
| Evidence of Foreign Fighter involvement | 2 |
| Examples of Intimidation | |
| Execution of Iraqis | Working |
| Kidnapping / Hostages | Working |
And from slide 3:
- 3 out of every 5 Mosques had fighting positions
- 653 IEDs were found and detonated
- 1 of every 5 blocks had a major weapons cache
The Donovan notes that the MSM is ignoring the many, many violations of the Laws of War made by the terrorists:
What about the LOW violations on the other side? Such as using protected areas for weapons storage, IED production, fighting positions, etc?The Slaughterhouses? The abuse not just of the western hostages, but the locals, as well – in far greater numbers.
Update: LGF finds an article that says the Fallujah terrorists had enough weapons amassed to take over the entire country of Iraq.
the Rules Of War only matter when publicity’s involved.
The terrorists have no care for publicity, they can always find new America-haters. Americans, on the other hand, must work to keep home-grown ones from appearing.
So, terrorist will do whatever they want, and that is expected of them. Americans will act like the war is civilized, or at least they will when cameras are around. When they’re are no cameras, it’s a lot easier to actually fight the war. To actually fight the war, America needs to kill the enemies. Sadly, much of the American public doesn’t want America to kill the enemies. This is a very unorthadox war, to say the least. Probably the first in which the winning nation doesn’t want to kill the enemy, in fact.
