See, I think that the military hung back for a while to let the goobers in who wanted to die with their rags on. Now, the trap is shut. Instead of a full scale assault, like the evisceration on von Paulus' Sixth Army by the Red Army's Don and Stalingrad Front Army Groups in January of 1943, we'll have a grinding, methodical attrition of the bad guys.

Some of these people will, on their own, decide to break out of the ring. We'll spot them using thermal imagery, and they'll be dead.

No terrorist is coming out of Fallujah alive. I suspect that far from getting the martyrdom they crave, they will instead, receive only suffering and continued loss.

It would be nice if everyone could remember that the article said "FULL SCALE", not NO offensive at all. We are patrolling inside the city to draw fire, then pass coordinates to the Gunships for destruction.

I hope/know you're right. I just am so sick of Fallujah getting headlines. I realize the right thing will happen at the right time.

I agree with you and I believe that the Roach Motel strategy is exactly what is going on.

There is no need to destroy the kitchen when you have other ways to kill the roaches.
