Fallujah war

Anyone else find the following BBC World News summation of the "coalition's" present aims to be just the slightest bit patronizing, if not unnerving:

"The assault on Falluja is aimed at stabilising Iraq ahead of January's poll."

Route the opposition so the Bush administration's hand-picked leaders can win. Long live democracy, imposed or otherwise! What a fucking mess. Did anyone else read how almost two-thirds of the so-called new Iraqi army has deserted in the face of the U.S.' -- I mean, their annihilation of the people of Fallujah?
