The elfman original contrivance was that the 1st Marines were on the scene loaded for bear, ready to take Fallujah by force and that politicians (i.e. Bush Administration) intervened and orchestrated a retreat.

Now, in the face of the above article that says the 1st Marines were never originally planning to wage an all out military assault on the city, but rather work their systematic "Ulster" campaign ... his little world is turned all upside down and he strikes out like an adolescent punk.

Hey elfman, some of us have a good enough memory to recall what you were saying several weeks back.

I not only did I say they were ready to take Fallujah by overwhelming force, I saw Kimmitt stand with anther general before the press and promised it. I saw the resolution in their face, and I believe them.

I made no claim about how the battle started.
