LOL. He's going to appreciate that.
That is a sober analysis on what's going on in Fallujah. It is also a reminder that we have the most professional army ever assembled and these combat troops deserve our utmost respect and, more importantly, our prayers.
Outstanding!
"Small bands of gunmen -- fewer than 20 -- were engaging U.S. troops, then falling back in the face of overwhelming fire from American tanks, 20mm cannons and heavy machine guns, said Time magazine reporter Michael Ware, embedded with troops."
Sometimes I wish I were still in the service. Oh the joy of watching those bastards get eviscerated by machine gun fire...
Maybe this time, the press and the bleeding hearts in this country won't bring public pressure on our military when it sees a few dead enemy bodies until this cancer is removed. If women and children are being killed, so be it, this is a war, and war is not pretty. Believe me, they have no conscience nor remorse killing any of our women and children....
IOW, the everything but the kitchen sink is thrown into battle. The ONLY way to wage war.

I always enjoy the Belmont Club posts. Extremely well written and realistic articles.
What? No jihadi mind tricks? ;') Letting them accumulate in Fallujah for six months (from both inside and outside of Iraq) makes it into a sort of "fish, barrel, take aim, fire" scenario.
The enemy withdrawals have sometimes been explained by suggesting that the enemy is suckering in US forces into a trap. But this is impossible. Their backs are to the river and the Marines are across that. Every retrograde movement compresses the enemy into a smaller area and forces them to leave behind prepared positions painstakingly stockpiled with food, batteries and ammo. Running backward with wounded, they can't carry much ammunition and won't find any unless a prepared position is already available.I don't think they'll be making much of a last stand. Instead of hundreds or thousands of martyrs, there'll be a bunch of surrendering criminals. The surrender will be reported (perhaps with video footage) by Al Jazeera, and will further humiliate the rest of the terrorists. Gosh, I guess that will make them hate the United States. ;')
major btt
There is a Marine term that can be used here. The term is:
GETSOME.
As other have noted, finally we get a report that most probably is correct. It has been the exact scenario many of us realized would come to past. The L/MSM are now sucking their thumbs to come up with some horseshit as how things really are in Fallujah. Now in a few days if those scum bags are still in Al Ramadi and Sammara etc., are still around they will most probably be sent to the grave in a similiar fashion. I hope Allawi and company realize that that has to be the final factor regardless of how loud those asshole moon (sin) god worshiping clerics rave!
The Arab world most come to the point where they realize the fucking game is simply over. Please pardon my French.
Hmmmmmm.......
