I really, really hope you're right. The confusion in all the conflicting reports is not exactly inspiring confidence, though. I'd like to believe there's a plan. We'll soon see.
Well, sure it could, the general in question probably hear on the Sunday talk shows how he was going to get the boot, so what the heck, may as well switch sides since Fallujah belongs to the resistance anyway. I imagine his looking for a way to get fired and make himself look good at the same time. Perfectly understandable. But then again this report could be BS. Whatever get ready for lots and lots of double crossing.
