Do not miss this letter describing the Battle of Fallujah from an Army Officer who was there. (via LGF)
2Slick's Forum: Letter from Fallujah
Now that it's over, there is a lot of things that people back home should know. First of all, every citizen of Fallujah (non-insurgent) is getting $2,500 USD (that's a lot over here) to fix up their house or buy new things that may have been destroyed in the fighting. Insurgents took up positions in resident's houses so we were forced to destroy a lot of buildings.
There is over $100 million dollars ready to be spent to re-build the city. This may seem like a lot of money, but I can assure you that it is a small price to pay for the amount of evil people no longer alive, contemplating how to kill more Americans. The intelligence value alone is already paying huge dividends. Some of the 900 detainees are telling everything they know about other insurgents. And the enemy never expected such a large or powerful attack and they were so overwhelmed that they left behind all kinds of things, including books with names of other foreign fighters, where their money and weapons come from, etc.
I went into the city 3 times, but after a lot of the fighting had been done. It was amazing to see how the American military had brought the world's most evil city to its knees. I have an awful lot of pictures that I am going to upload to my webshots site...it will blow your mind to see what the insurgents forced us to do to win this fight. And seeing the pictures of what I saw first hand will make you very happy to be an American and know that our country has this might if evildoers force us to use it...
God only destroyed the city. We'll help rebuild it. I know a lot of people think an example should have been made of Fallujah. As to how that example is made and what specifically is done as far as the manner in which the fight is had and how much rebuilding help is given, I'll trust to the people on the ground for those decisions.
The purpose of this bit of propaganda is to make it seem Ok that U.S. soldiers shot and killed wounded and unarmed Iraqi prisoners.
