The Guardian needs a reality check.

An online article here titled "Losing Falluja" , says "raise serious doubts about the methods currently adopted by the coalition."

With the complete and utter cave in by Sadr and his thugs, I'd say they had no "serious doubts" about US methods. So, Guardian, it seems you are the one with doubts.

Not content to sow "doubts", the article goes on to try and convince you how evil the US is with lines like this:

the indiscriminate killing of several hundred Iraqis by US forces in Falluja

Where is the proof of this "indiscriminate killing"? Where are the photographs and video of all the dead and wounded women and children you imply? That is after all, the kind of blood thirsty coverage you guys crave. Where is it Guardian?

Why do you refer to them just as "Iraqis"? What happened to "militant" or "terrorist" or "former regime elements" or "Sadr's army"? These are terrorists financed by Iran not just Iraqis. Sadr said publicly that he is the Hamas and Hezbolla arm in Iraq. You insult all Iraqis when you refer to these terrorists as "Iraqis".

And how about the "indiscriminate killing" of Americans? You seem to have little to say on that score. Then there is the "indiscriminate killing" of Iraqis. What about those innocent people?

The Guardian just doesn't seem to understand that since Sadr declared war on the coalition, Falluja became a war zone. As such the coalition forces imposed a dusk to dawn curfew. So it is no surprise they would issue orders like these:

The New York Times reported yesterday that US marines had orders to shoot any males who look of military age out after dark, whether armed or not

The the Guardian really starts to lose the plot with these lines:

This is a massacre in the making. The United Nations should investigate the deadly events in Falluja, as it did in Jenin, as soon as possible.

Where is your proof of a "massacre in the making"? The killing of 600 heavily armed, Iranian backed terrorists, is not the same as killing unarmed civilians. Again, where are the photographs and videos of this invented massacre? These terrorists love to show you the dead bodies and you guys love to photograph them. So, where are they?

Losing the plot further, the Guardian calls for the "we turned our back on Rwanda; oil for food scandal" UN to investigate.

"Losing Falluja" more like losing the plot Guardian.
