US troops have been training heavily for urban combat, I don't worry much about the military results of US marines against anybody Zarqawi can muster against them.

It is the media fallout that is costly. The whole Arab world saw the happy (for them) results of the Palestinian shoot'n'whine campaign, so they are of course repeating the tactics. Using kids as human shields, firing from mosques and crowded apartment buildings, then whining like hell about the civilian deaths that result, being sure to call it a "massacre" and number the deaths in the many thousands, whether they were or not.

Those in the Arab world who worry about such things can ponder why current Arab tactics now depend on their enemies' caring more for the lives of Arab children than Arabs do.
