Smart money says these Iraqi forces join up with the insurgents and starts attacking US forces.

Smart money says these Iraqi forces join up with the insurgents and starts attacking US forces.

Let's see. Their choices are:

A. Wipe out, with the support of U.S. air power, the remaining Baathist thugs that are surrounded and trapped like rats in the Golan slum district of Fallujah by U.S. Marines and have a future as the Golden Boys of the new Iraqi Army.

Or

B. Join the remaining Baathist thugs that are surrounded and trapped like rats in the Golan slum district of Fallujah by U.S. Marines so that they can die a violent death by an AC-130 strike, a Marine sniper round through their skull or a 2,000 pound JDAM collapsing the building they are hiding in sometime during the next six weeks.

Hmmmmmm........Tough choice. They are both so equally attractive.

Tell you what, Guillermo, after a lot of thinking, I'd like some of that action.

Put me down for "A."
