Wretchard does have a way with words...
News accounts which suggest that this-still-to-be formed Fallujah Protection Army (FPA) will take over from the Marines, said to be evacuating "front line positions" within a few days, are only slightly less incredible than a report that Batman, the Hulk and Wolverine have joined the Navy to see the world.
Wretchard told us yesterday that the Marines leaving their positions in the Southeast part of the city wasn't the big deal the papers made it out to be...that is the center of the part of the city that we control.
I'm going to stick with my belief that the Marine Captain who said on Wednesday that we haven't even begun to see major offensive operations in Fallujah is closer to the truth than Reuters or the AP.

And I bless him for his lucid reports. No one does a better job at explaining what is going on--certainly no one in the MSM. Smooches wretchard!!

Who is this General?
Major General Jassem Mohamed Saleh
I did some research and can't find a thing on him.

No matter how the Fallujeh situation gets resolved, the press is already reporting it as a U.S. military failure, with ragtag bands of 'rebels' fighting the Army and USMC to a standstill. Get out your barf bags. This, along with Senator Clinton's prediction that America wll fail in Iraq, will precipitate more violence and GI casualties, while the Dem's put on their "I told you so" grins. The Dems are in a position to cause more American bloodshed and profit politically from it, with alot of help from the mainstream media.
