Looks like a carefully chosen hornets nest. The streets are to narrow for Tanks or other Armor and I am sure they have ambushes planned in case there is a Marine assault.

Of course the Marines could snipe, bomb, and grind them down, until they decide they need to flatten the place.

Level it.

Build a wall around it and call it Fallujah Penitentiary.

Starve them out.

Looks as though the SMGurillas use civilians as body armor.
If a Racky had half a brain wouldn't they just leave that place? Unless they were stupid or harboring the bad guys.
Sure would be nice to just drop some heavies and say oops, but Al Jazeera and CNN would be all over it.

When they were showing the US Marines "playing patty-cake with the insurgents" (as a Marine said to the media) they had a vid-phone shot showing a Marine sniper, I saw him use the scope as binoculars for 10 minutes and then he took 6 shots.... how many baddies do you think he got?

Don't send the Marines into that hornet's nest, especially after giving the terrorists almost a month to prep it. Do it from the air, never mind the arab street or the hearts and minds. The arabs hated us before and will continue to hate us.

A satellite photo of Fallujah shows a city with wide roads, neatly-organized blocks of houses and open spaces, and in the northeast corner Golan, a knot of streets too narrow for tanks and heavy armor.

Who needs a tank in the narrow streets when you have a flying tank right over their heads?

It is a very carefully chosen hornets nest......for another war in a past century.

The area in question is the upper left cluster or woren of shantys...

Drop the leaflets, process the refuges, sound the warning horn...then level it.

I'm all for flattening the place. If the citizens are too dumb and lazy to get the hell out, then may they too pay the ultimate sacrifice that so many of our soldiers paid just so the whole of Iraq can live peacefully as an example of Democracy in action in the war torn middle east.

Polticians, and armchair generals need to shut the hell up, and let our troops take care of things over there, they're only getting more of our guys killed.
