U.S. Military Seeks Fallujah Cease-Fire
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)--A U.S. general on Saturday called on Sunni militants in the besieged city of Fallujah to join in a bilateral cease-fire.
``Today what we are seeking is a bilateral cease-fire,'' Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told reporters in Baghdad. ``This is an aspiration.''
He added that he was ``hoping to get this message to the enemy through this press conference so they can join the cease-fire.''
U.S. Marines besieging Fallujah this week called a unilateral halt in offensive operations on Friday. There was no immediate response from insurgents to Kimmitt's call to join a bilateral cease-fire.

Eventually, we will find someone a little more ammenable to playing nice. Might take a few runs through, though. ;0)

If politics become the determining factor, then we will lose this war.
If Iraq or Syria is helping, then we should immediately bomb Iranian and Syrian supply channels. That's not sending a message. That's legitimate no-holds-barred warfighting.
Let the political pieces fall where they will.
Despite what others might say, we can take out the entire Muslim world. Israel has done it a number of times all by themselves.
With the help of God we will be Gideon's army in their midst. They won't know what hit them.

Reports are that large numbers of the Iraqi Security Forces have surrendered to the rebels in Mosul, and the Governing Council is disintegrating NOW!!
Unless GWB declares a National Emergency, you can kiss this effort GOODBYE!!!

Question: "Why?"
Response: Since those allowed in position of authority are congenital liars; and those who allegedly 'report'have a similar void in their character we are left guessing.
