Seriously, I double checked the date on this, it's not an old article. Apparently we killed all those civilians for nothing. Boy I'll bet the army feels silly about that one!
U.S. Military Adopts Desperate Tactics
Electronic Iraq, 1 November 2006
FALLUJAH (IPS) - Increased violence is being countered by harsh new measures across the Sunni-dominated al-Anabar province west of Baghdad, residents say.
"Thousands have been killed here by the Multi-National Forces (MNF) and Iraqi allies, and the situation is getting worse every day," a member of the Fallujah city council speaking on condition of anonymity told IPS. "We have no role to play because the Americans always prefer violent solutions that have led from one disaster to another."
The violence appears to be affecting the civilian population far more than it is stifling the resistance. The suffering of people in Fallujah increases by the day, and the number of resistance snipers appears to be increasing in response to the U.S. use of snipers against civilians.
Wait, let me get this straight. We're using snipers against civilians and yet the number of terrorists seems to be increasing? I don't get it. What kind of fuzzy math is that?
