I understand many of you don't like the Iraqi conflict, don't like US policies and don't support Bush ... all of that is fine.
But a house that was basically the site for the slaughter of x number of people is certainly a slaughterhouse. I think it hits a nerve with some of you because it comes across as positive news for the US in that they went in and stopped it. Bottom line ... it is good news. It's still possible to not support the war in Iraq, but if hostage taking and beheadings are even slowed in any way it's a good story for the US, for innocents in Iraq and for humanity. Isn't it?

That's true, if you buy the story.
I don't. Well, I might, but what we are being fed certainly isn't all of it. From what I've been reading on plain old bbc.co.uk , things are really ugly in Fallujah. The "justification story" about the "slaughterhouse" doesn't change much.
