We never got or had control of Fallujah for some reasonThe reason is that our war planners did not believe that a heavy occupation with 60-70 divisions would be necessary, or at least, the ones who Rummy listened to did not believe it.
Whether they did not believe it because they were afraid our people would not support an Army of ten million will have to wait for the historians.
President Bush, IMO, could have had such an Army if he asked for it when he addressed Congress on 9/16/01.
He didn't, and we're fighting the only war our light and small forces will allow.
My God, I hope we win. The consequences of defeat are unthinkable.

The consequences of defeat are manifestly visible in Madrid, Bali, Grozny, a Moscow theater, Shanksburg, PA, DC, NYC, Caracas, Bogota, the Tri-Border Area, and coming soon to LA, Miami, Boston, Paris, London, DC again and NYC. It is a matter of time......saddle up and fight the islamofascists or prepare a grave.
