I can picture you dancing in the streets over those negative developments from here jay. Even though you know full well you can trust little of the media, the past has proved that to all of us. In fact General Myers on Fox this am stated this old Saddam general isnt in charge. And even some on the left admit We havent abandoned Fallujah as the last slanted article wrongly suggests.
Meanwhile, The marines are still in position and fully capable to move on Fallujah if giving the Iraqis a chance to take bullets for their own country doesnt work.
Its easy to get discouraged, but we have to see this through.
Did you expect this to be a cake walk?
I do wish Bush would send more troops and not expect the commanders there to ask for them, when the extended stay of some who were told they were going home proves we could use some more men on the ground.
Yeah, I'm really dancing in the street watching my country get rolled. Myers is backing off now because his Iraqi general stabbed us in the back, as anyone with a brain could have predicted:

If those in charge had never planned for this general to be in charge, as they will likely try to spin this, then what was he doing in Fallujah wearing his old Repubican Guard uniform while his militia celebrated as the Marines withdrew? If he was not put in charge by our side, then he was openly leading an enemy force as we were backing off.
There is now another chance to get this right. Now that this sob has exposed himself almost instantly to be a turncoat, we should do now what should have been done a month ago. Whether
whoever is calling the blunders is ready to do the right thing remains to be seen.
