It doesn't really matter how the press or the rats view the situation.

It does matter that the moslems seem to be viewing this as a victory for them and a defeat for the U.S.

This will embolden the running dogs of Mohammed and cost more American lives, no matter what the final outcome.

This is what DoD has wanted to do from Day One--Have the Iraqi faces on the government and military. I read this differently than you do. I think DoS which has blocked this, blocked expenditures of virtually all the $18 billion appropriated for reconstruction and otherwise sabotaged the post-war effort has finally had its leash yanked.

The Falluja Brigade is going into areas already cleaned up or assisting in the blockade. We have the city in a siege, We have driven the thugs into a small, slum area. We have destroyed a lot of their supplies and ammo. We are not leaving. We are limiting ourselves to the hot spot in the center and overseeing the Fallja brigade which is getting a chance to prove itself. We have the ammo, the planes and the fresh supplies.

Your moaning is ridiculously like those idiots who keep saying we should nuke it. Or those fruitcakes who say we need 1oo,ooo's more US troops.

This is a brilliant move for which we have been preparing for months.
