More than likely the press will interpret these indirect tactics as proof that Americans are afraid to advance or declare that the Marines have been pinned down.
Yep! That will be the report.

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.

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.

excellent analysis, to which i humbly add that the terrorists will not hesitate to use the civilian evacuation against the USMC perimeter by stampeding them, hoping to slip thier own past in the chaos, or shooting some of those civilians from within the very midst of the evacuating throngs.
