Fighting again per FoxNews...

We gave them the chance to play ball, they didn't want to, so we're shoving the bat up their (bleep).

It's psychological. Drives the enemy mad, wondering, "WTF??"

Fox is reporting 9 dead in a convoy attack. Wonder if that was what precipitated the resumption.

It is frustrating, a lot of conflicting media noise out there. I will trust the military leadership.

Nearing the end game now. Probably gave the anticoalition forces a chance to surrender, but they procrastinated, so the heat goes on again.

Partially PR thing, I'll bet.

It was being reported in a way that made it sound like the Marines had given up.

Yes, always. Not sure about the political leadership though. We keep hearing that it's "just a few thugs and terrorists," but we're also hearing about the re-taking of towns and the enemy in control of others. I hope and pray the political leadership isn't hamstringing the military. We ought to let the military handle it alone and just keep shipping them ammo. PC be damned!

I wonder what "color" JFKerry's eye color will be today, he makes his campaign ads with "blue" eyes!
