As part of Multinational Force-Iraq, the Airmen joined coalition partners and U.S. Marines in the offensive.

About 30 minutes later, Air Force aircraft also supported a Marine element and destroyed several known barricaded fighting positions. This preplanned mission occurred in the southeast, officials said.
Later in the afternoon, an Air Force aircraft destroyed two fortified buildings in the southeastern part of the city being occupied by armed insurgents. This strike on the preplanned target also supported a Marine element.
That evening, an Air Force aircraft destroyed barricaded fighting positions in the northern part of the city. The strike on the preplanned target supported a Marine element.

KEEP POUNDING THEM BOYS!!!!!
JUST KEEP KILLING THEM!!!!!!
FLATTEN FALLUJAH!!!!!!!!!
The 300,000 terrorist insurgents in Fallujah?
This is a good thing if Iraqi vets do the real work.
"Some told NBC News that they were with resistance units that fought former President Saddam Hussein in the Kurdish north. Others said they were Shiite fighters from the south. Others, however, said they were once members of Saddams army, a few of them having been involved in the invasion of Kuwait, the incident that started the first Gulf War. Sunni clerics have threatened to boycott the election if Fallujah is attacked, "
With a flattened city and a multi-ethnic Iraqi army cleaning out the scum, the Sunni clerics may find they have less influence with the people of Fallujah as well as other nearby cities.
They have been pounding the hell out of them with AC-130s as well.
The AF will give everyone medals, the grunts will still have to go in and do the bleeding and dying, they will get nothing.
the crybaby liberals only cry about the things they see on tv. this will not have much coverage because it will be a MAJOR VICTORY now that the decision has been made to win. don't expect a liberal backlash on this latest assault. besides, too many of them are crying in their beer right now to give a hoot about what is going on 6 inches beyond their nose.
