Very true. And I have to wonder about all the possible solutions to this event that were discussed if any before this action was ordered. It's been a few days since the military was loading up around Fallujah.
Finding those responsible for killing the 4 last week is one thing, rockets from apache helicopters into crowds of people is another. Surprised no one has called the innocent civilians killed" human shields" yet.
