We lost the battle for Fallujah. We should already have control of that city. Can you imagine general Patton using the strategy we are using? The war in Iraq is starting to look a lot more like Vietnam than it ever has before. We won all the major battles in Vietnam just like we have in Iraq. But we are horribly restrained now. Fallujah should have been taken by now or we shouldn't have talked so tough.

I don't believe that. There is no way that we're letting Fallujah go. Why would we pull back and bring in Iraqis? Well the rebels are reduced to using women and children as shields. Bad PR for Americans, but Iraqi soldiers or Baa'thists if civilian casualties should occur? Same thing if we had immediately leveled the city. The wailing and accusations of brutality would be heard up at the Mars space station.

We need to sit back and wait. There is no way that we're going to let the criminals in Fallujah get away with what they did. I predict that Fallujah is in for a nasty surprise. Have faith.
