"an estimated 300 Iraqis from Fallujah and Ramadi launched an assault against the Americans in Husaybah around 8 a.m"

I thought Fallujah was surrounded? How did fighters get out of Fallujah and go to Husaybah? Doesn't sound like we have control of a Goddamn thing in that country.

We aren't fighting this war like a war. Why haven't we captured or killed Sadr in Najaf??? Why haven't we taken control of Fallujah??? We haven't accomplished either mission that we sat out too do. The way some of these leaders are talking it doesn't sound like we are going to either. We could have easily done both within a few days if we had wanted, but instead we started negotiating with terrorist scum, and now we look weak. The reality is that we are weak if don't allow our men to fight. We are capable of winning easily, but if aren't allowed then out power is irrelevant. If we don't at the very least kill or capture Sadr and take complete control of Fallujah then they have won and we have lost.

Totally agree. The enemy is using the clock to better rearm regroup and you better believe they are looking for WMDs too. And when they find them they will show us how the explode in our face. We don't have time to play around with these Islamist.
