From reports garnered off of CNN's live feed early yesterday morning, and subsequently verified here, over 500 of the enemy have been killed by our troops in Fallujah, while the bums have managed to kill 18 of ours. Our brave allies have sustained 5 dead, according to the aforementioned CNN report.
In any event, these numbers render a kill ratio of 22:1, rounded to the nearest whole number. This is a good start. I like seeing these sorts of numbers. Perhaps---although I am not hopeful---such statistics could be conveyed to the enemy in such a way that they would be convinced of the futility of resistance, and lay down their arms to contribute to the new Iraq. On the other hand, if they will not, then I wholly support running that number to somewhere north of 50:1. Ideally, the enemy would not have managed to kill any of our troops, but that is not the way war works, and I regret it.
Congratulations to our forces and those of our Iraqi allies. I'm proud of you; keep up the good work.
