If the assholes are firing at our boys from places such as behind the wall or from the mosque itself, you have to think that the Americans will return fire and rightfully so. Not to mention that these clowns are employing the cowardly tactics of Saddam's regime taking refugee in hospitals and other public buildings and firing on our troops. To hell with them.

Yeah, that attitude has worked
really well for Israel.
Justified or not, firing back at people with guns, with missiles that have huge collateral damage is ultimately bad strategy. You knock out the guys who are firing on you...along with 40 innocent people whose grief-stricken families now hate Americans. When you're an
occupying force you have to operate by different rules that sometimes tie your hands in individual battles. Sometimes you have to pick your fights to achieve the larger goal. "Well, they were in the way" is hardly going to fly as an excuse for why we're killing innocent civilians. In a frickin mosque, for cyring out loud. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
