Fallujah is a success: 1,000 insurgents were killed

Always nice to get to that century mark. 1,000 "insurgents" and an undefined number of Iraqi citizens were killed in Fallujah this week. Fallujah was once a city of 250,000 to 300,000 people. Now it's a city of the dead. And where are all those people who used to live there? Expelled into the desert. To die. (The nighttime temperatures are dipping into the 40s Fahrenheit.)

The Red Crescent says 90% of the people who lived there have fled and that a humanitarian crisis is looming. The Bush Administration justified the deaths with a "Hey, we found a 'slaughterhouse' where at least a dozen people were killed." I guess George Bush and Company were sleeping during that "Greater Good" lecture at Yale.
