If this Iraqi General doesn't capture or kill these terrorist insurgents then we will have to deal with them sooner or later. We should have captured the entire city of Fallujah first and then allowed this Iraqi General to occupy the city.

Then all we have done is do the Iraqis job for them. I want Iraqis to spill blood for their own independence. If they are not willing to do that, I want to know it now instead of 5 years from now.

That may be exactly what we did. It was only days ago we beat a concentration of insurgents to a pulp with the AC-130 and more. I can see some wisdom is letting one from their own people have a hand in restoring general order. The convoy will be a test. If the Iraqi general blows it things will not go well for him and his town. If he can maintain order so supplies for the good of people can move along, so much the better.

Doubtless there are still some insurgents in F-town who would just as soon knock off this former general of Saddam's.
