"Former Iraqi brass pledges to guard Fallujah..."

No doubt...but we will have to see for WHOM they are guarding Fallujah....

If they accept the surrender, and then release the anti-coalition thugs -- then the U.S. will have to go in or admit they've been suckered - again.

Semper Fi

Actually, this is a step in the right direction... sooner or later, the Iraqi's have to take over security... just because these guys are Ba'athists, doesn't necessarily mean they are bad... but we need to keep a close eye on them, that's for sure...
