they're all gonna die

A marine outside Fallujah:

Christiansen said he was unfazed by concerns that the gunmen may be using the cease-fire to regroup.

"I really don't care; they're all gonna die," he said.

That's great - they're all gonna die. Let's not forget, the "war" is over - this is an occupation. Why don't the marines just pull back to Baghdad and try to at least secure the green zone? Why risk killing countless civilians? You are now fighting amongst the citizens of the very country you were supposed to be liberating. Sure, there are some bad and dangerous people in Fallujah, but why not just leave it to them? Flattening that city just adds several more years of imbalance and chaos to the world. I am so tired and disgusted of the idiotic policies of this administration - I don't think I can take much more.
