I don't know that it will play out this way, although it could. Getting the non-combatants out of there would be nice, but I'm not sure how you tell who is who. Unless we have significant Iraqi help in determining that, and I'm not sure we have that in Fallujah, we could evacuate all the bad guys only to find an empty city.

It's really a matter of determining where the bad guys are in the city and applying appropriate force. Generally, that means receiving the first salvo.

"I didn't create the post, but I did write it."

Enjoyed your evaluation of the situation Wretchard.

If you don't mind me asking, are you military or a student of military history?

Your synopsis sounds dead nuts on.

Thanks for posting Cannoneer!

#4, Thanks a lot! Now I'm up. Oh well, 2.5 hours of sleep is better than none. Sometimes.

Star, PB, thanks a lot, too, but for being nice and not waking me up with the Big Guns.

Been quiet for several hours. Wonder what's up?

I've been in theater since before the shooting, in Iraq since October. Not much heroic in what I and my co workers do. But your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

I'm a civilian...non combatant. REMF even. lol, What could happen? Just because there's a bounty on contractors, doesn't meant that they're out to get us.

Besides, 99% of the incoming doesn't have anyone's name on it anyway. Sheer harrassment.

Not formally sir, just read a few books and I can read a map is about all.

Crush the b@stards. If it weren't for the need to gain intell, I'd say they need to die slowly and painfully.

Mercy for a time has taken flight.

Semper Fi Marines and God speed...shoot first, ask questions later.

Be safe and be careful. A slow death for these b@st@rds is better than they deserve.

I just hope any tunnels can be covered to prevent any escape by the t*rds.
