We have to finish them.

No, we don't. The Iraqis have to finish them and they will finish them completely in a way that we can not because of "world opinion".

I'm not sure it was a mistake to pull back. There was getting to be too much uproar about the battle. The media was misportraying it and making it sound like we were slaughtering innocents. When the Iraqis go in, there will be no cameras, there will be no reporters, there will just be death to the "insurgents". Just remember, the new leaders of Iraq all survived Saddam, they did that by being smart and tough. Let's wait until a week or so after 6/30 before we say this was a failure.

The Iraqis already went in, and joined the terrorists.

We have waited 2 months, and been rewarded with a city lost to the enemy.

We could have handed the New Iraqi Government a clean Fallujah, instead we give them a sanctuary for terrorists.
