I'll tell you one thing: it's going to be a sniper's holiday in there. Every USMC sniper and designated marksman is going to put some notches on the old stock, and that's for certain.

You can bet the bad guys are setting up some NASTY IED ambushes in the addesses they expect us to hit. We could lose squads at a time if we're not lucky.

I don't think there will be to many sleeping a good night sleep tonite in FALLOUJA.

I too am worried about the IED factor. Maybe out troops have one of those devices that supposedly saved Musharraf- a frequency-shifting transmitter designed to set of IEDs before our troops reach them. Wouldn't that be fun for the enemy?

I'm praying that we're real lucky...

I wonder if the press is holed up in Fallujah waiting to 'JohnKerry' all of our troops or if they left after they got their wanna-be Somalia footage the other day?

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Agreed. I'm back to thinking we should attempt to pinpoint their location(s) and bomb them. Too late now. Prepare for a significant number of casualties.
