Tony, this seems like exceedingly bad math.

Okay, maybe 10. Maybe 5. Whatever. By "get back" I don't mean revive from the dead, of course. The point is that many of the "civilians" aren't civilians, and many of those surrendering aren't really surrendering. I'm not saying we should bomb Baghdad to the stone age and forget about our emphasis on reducing non-combattant fatalities, but on the sliding scale, I think we need to slide it a notch or two towards "caution towards our own."

Funny enough, on CNN right now, the medical correspondent just made a point along the lines of "while we're operating on wounded Iraqi POW's to save their lives, they're ambushing us and shooting our POW' in the head."
