Do you deny that occurred or could you explain how that reality will translate into positive interaction with the US invasion? I see that you have addressed the fact that the majority of thugs and insurgents have now moved on leaving a power vacuum that might be used positively, but please address who is going to be wanting or able to fill that vacuum given who was left behind in the city and the negative feelings those who fled are likely to have about US intervention.

You respond (from my link) with civilian casualty figures that had nothing to do with Fallujah Nov '04. Those figures were for the entire Iraq War. You insist that every man in Fallujah Nov '04 of fighting age (out of 350,000 residents) must have been killed. I say there were nowhere near tens of thousands of civilian casualties in Fallujah Nov '04. I think I'm done here.
