There is a slugfest going on right now in Fallujah....it isn't for the faint hearted.

I hope we have Abu Zarqawi trapped in there.

[MEG33]

Wouldn't that be great..but I doubt he would face danger and is probably in a hole somewhere.

[Cap Huff]

What a magnificent plus if Zarqawi is in there! Somehow I think he is way too cunning to let himself get into such a situation.

CBS News says the Marines have entered the city..

[Mac94]

There is at least one inbedded reporter asI've seen one of the stations do an interview with him. He is not, though, TV, but radio, so there are no live video feeds coming out of the battle zone. I think the imbeddeds here are all either radio or print journalists/photographers.

Just look at what Chappaquiddick Ted's saying, calling this "Bush's Viet Nam."

The 'rats are PRAYING for heavy American casualties, and a humiliating defeat.

ANYTHING to get back into power.

[PattonReincarnated]

>> The politician
>> would be a "war criminal"
>> the rest of his life

It seems like that hasn't stopped John Kerry, and he freely admits to creating atrocities.

BUMP for prayer !

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Chappaquiddick Ted is sickening!

As I said to another poster here, THIS WAR IS NOT OVER YET. Let's hope we win it, once and for all.

I have never thought the war was over regarless of what was, what was not, nor how it was said.

1) The north (sunni triangle)more or less, no major fighting in 2003. (something was always wrong with that picture to me).

2) It was stated that Iraq was the stage set for the war on terror). Is the current battle a part of the war on terror?

3) The enemy has stated and continuously reiterates that they want to kill us and that is the one thing I take them at their word on.

Meanwhile Fox News reporting Marines moving into urban area of Fallujah for all different directions.

"Belmont Club"...roger that!
DOG put me on to the site earlier in the morning..
I was up till 4:30 this morning reading...about current events as they've been "revealed or released"....

I would be going nuts - if we hadn't thought to bring my sainted wife's wireless IBM Thinkpad along... Being out of touch at a time like this would have been heartbreaking...

CNN Headline News LIVE UPDATE:

Sadr forces have been badly MAULED overnight by US Forces....they are now trying to withdraw down to Najif(sp)

[Cap Huff]

On another thread here CNN is quoted as saying that they have "taken over" Najaf.

[bushfamfan]

What kind of aircraft are these AC-130s? Those boys are going to need everything for this mission and they can take down the whole city because it seems as if Fallujah is the base for the attacks and has been. We've basically stayed out of there and they've had the run of it, but things are going to change.

[MEG33]

Al Sadr is supposed to be there now.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Switching to CNN.

Wolf is talking specifically about IRAQ.

[river rat]

These poor "warriors for Allah" are going to get their last lesson on the difference between a "street strutting masked Arab gunman" and a trained disciplined warrior..

It will be the last thing they learn, fortunately..

He will die in Najaf.

AC-130

[r9etb]

What kind of aircraft are these AC-130s?

How can you have been here 3 years, and not seen what comes out of an AC-130?!?

Just to help you out...
