9. Only cowards attack a civilian population
The officially touted figure of around 1100 killed with 8000 injured
from the entire contingent of 130,000. This is not even 10% however
there is a shortage of troops.

To answer the initial question, what is happening in Fallujah is sheer barbarism and
Israeli style collective punishment. News of US forces using chemical weapons
against the Iraqi resistance has also coming through the independent media
www.islamonline.net, so that is where the WMDs are. Perhaps this is why there
has been little mass media coverage from inside Fallujah. Thus, the US soldiers
have once again exposed their cowardice despite the numerical, technological
advantage coupled with the overwhelming firepower. Only cowards attack a civilian
population and the basic civilian infrastructure indiscriminately using massive air
power, artillery and now chemical weapons. A trait of a coward is to torture
prisoners whose hands are tied like we saw in places like Abu-Ghraib.
