"Clearly, there are certain things that we will not tolerate in Fallujah," Abizaid said. "We will not tolerate the presence of foreign fighters. We insist that the heavy weapons come off the streets. We want the Marines to have freedom of maneuver in Fallujah, along with Iraqi security forces and Iraqi police." They've been singing that same sorry song since April 5. Does Abizaid think he's scaring the Moslems?
Does he think anyone takes this huffing and puffing seriously?.
Put in a thousand more Iraqis with guns and those guns will ultimately be used on the Marines.
Have a little faith. Many here thought that we would succumb to UN pressure and not go into Iraq, too. These things take time.
