There was a Washington Post reporter just interviewed on CNBC. He had just hung up from a phone conversation with their embedded reporter-a woman whose name I cannot remember-with the marines in Fallujah. She said that they had been planning on re-taking the town for some time but they moved it up based on last week's deaths. She said they were very concerned about firing on mosques. One mosque they were able to take over without a lot of violence. The other-despite all efforts-they were forced to bomb. His report was that the Marines tried everything they could before they bombed it. They had been fired on from both and had suffered several injuries

Once they are involved in attacks from a mosque, the mosque becomes history. It can be no other way. Once they find out that they can't hit us and run into a mosque without getting smeared, they won't be as eager to try it.
