Excerpt follows from:

Fallujah Shaken by Intense Blasts, Gunfire

BAGHDAD, Iraq  — A series of explosions lit up the night sky in Fallujah on Tuesday as black smoke rose above the city that has become a central location for anti-American activity in Iraq.

Between 15 and 20 explosions were heard but U.S. officials are not clear what the target is or if there were casualties.

Earlier in Fallujah (search), joint patrols of U.S. Marines and Iraqi police that were scheduled to begin Tuesday have been put on hold until Thursday because of violence. Fighting on Monday that was captured by television news crews showed Marines fighting from inside apartment blocks, firing from window to window, stacking up sandbags and eventually calling in airpower for assistance.

Elsewhere, troops killed 64 insurgent gunmen and destroyed an anti-aircraft system in the holy Shiite city of Najaf (search), U.S. military officials said Tuesday. The violence began after a U.S. military patrol came under attack and an M1 tank was hit by rocket-propelled grenades in separate incidents, officials said....

call me crazy, but did we just PLAY DUMB & WEAK for the past few weeks?

By telling them that we wouldnt attack mosques, they might have all gathered in them and then we took out a few mosques?

If so, that was a brilliant plan.

So much for the premature doomsdayers who misinterpreted Bush's intentions when it was reported we were not going to go on an all out attack.
