It takes $100. to fill the Hummer's 42 gal tank. So it goes up to $200. Some owners couldn't care less other owners might have to trade down to a Lincoln Navigator. Every bit helps.

Hi Sig; Re: "This Al Sadr fella may be a good preacher, but not much of a General. One more day of fighting and he will have lost the entire city of Falugha"

I doubt that we ever disarm the city of Fallujah.

Re: "... while losing more Iraqi lives than we lost in the entire war."

The same could be said of the communists in South Vietnam. It makes no difference. The problem is that they're willing to lose a lot more people than we are. It's cause they think they're fighting for their homes. We think we're fighting for some stupid principle like WMDs or democracy, not our homes. Bush (or his successor) will leave Iraq with his tail between his legs.
