"But they wisely determined what they had wasn't sufficient to mount full scale offensive operations. So they decided not to. "

You have any evidence of that?

Evidence. Well, they didn't mount a full scale invasion of Fallujah, so I guess that speaks for itself. They didn't have Marine fixed wing air support. Evidence of that is that it was never used in Fallujah (because it didn't exist). That's why all the bombs were dropped by USAF and Navy jets, and AC-130's. And they had very few M-1's. But it's hard to prove something didn't exist there. Perhaps someone can provide a picture of a large number of Marine tanks (say more than 10) to prove they did have sufficient armor. I believe Gandalftb provided exact numbers. Maybe he can respond.
