It was predictable from day one.
Why the hell are we being so PC with Fallujah... where do we think the damn suicide car bombers are coming from? Geeeeeeeeeez...
Unfortunately so. And you're going to think I'm pulling your leg, but the decision to avoid a new offensive comes from Marine leadership. They've assessed the cost isn't worth the potential gain. The best action may be no action. Fallujah is rotten to the core, and its inhabitants will most likely turn on themselves without a direct threat from the Marines to keep them focused. Frankly, I wish they'd just put a big wall around the place and turn it into that compound from "Escape from New York".
