You're lying through your teeth.  The embedded reporters were censored by
the military, and the only reason why we know anything at all about
conditions in Fallujah is that they have been reported by wounded American
soldiers, and my an aid mission.  

OVERWHELMING FIREPOWER WAS AN OVERWHELMING MISTAKE IN FALLUJAH.  THERE WERE,
BY THE BEST ESTIMATES OF THE US DOD, SOMETHING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
80,000 CIVILIANS IN FALLUJAH, AT THE TIME WHEN IT WAS SUBJECTED TO THE MOST
INTENSE AND SUSTAINED BOMBARDMENT IN THE HISTORY OF WAR, WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE DROPPING OF NUCLEAR ARMANMAENTS ON HIROSHIMA AND NAKASAKI.  IT IS
BEING PERCIEVED AS AN OVERHELMING SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS, BY THE
ENTIRE PLANET, BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.

DON'T LIE TO ME, YOU WITLESS THUG.  YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WENT ON OVER
THERE, AND I DESPISE YOU WITH EVERY ATOM OF MY BODY FOR BEING A COWARDLY
LIAR ABOUT IT.
