 * I don't know what discussion malathion is reading but there seems to me to be a clear concensus to delete this page. If anyone is really interested in mergeing its contents with Operation Phantom Fury, they should do it. None of those who voted for mergeing meant to indicate that this page should be saved, they meant for the tiny scraps of it that are creditable to be merged. - atfyfe

U.S. attack on Fallujah
Bias propaganda selectively citing reports of abuse by U.S. Marines. This information is covered in the page on Fallujah and so (1) does not need it's own entry, and (2) even if it did this shouldn't be it. As a person who spent a long time in Fallujah (not during the attack in question) I am willing to admit not all the acts by US soldiers in Iraq may be morally acceptable. However, I would argue most are and that this entry well over-exaggerates the bad behavior of US soldiers in Iraq. It was also my experience in Iraq that a large amount of the reports given to the media by Iraqis were themselves lies or exaggerations. Heck, I've even been to the hospital cited in this article.

There is a valid place for criticism of U.S. actions in Iraq, but this entry is just rampant nonsense. [Delete]

 * Merge what can be merged. I doubt there's much here worth salvaging, though. The quotations look questionable, and the intro certainly isn't of any use. Still, it might be good for Operation Phantom Fury to have a line mentioning the controversy somewhere. Aquillion 07:20, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
