Although your concern for the delay is probably well founded, IMO I don't think these guys would leave Fallujah. It's their stronghold and has been their stronghold for awhile.

My guess, Iranians, and they have moved to another city.

They will just surrender and relocate to our comfortable detainee camps. ( After firing a couple of thousand rounds and hundreds of mortar and RPG rounds at our Marines.)

They'll leave one way or another. Dead or alive. We'd prefer dead, but they'll raise the white flag fast once they know it's no more Mr. Nice Guy.
