U.S. forces stormed into western districts of Fallujah early Monday, seizing the main city hospital and securing two key bridges over the Euphrates river in what appeared to be the first stage of the long-expected assault on the insurgent stronghold.

An AC-130 gunship raked the city with 40 mm cannon fire as explosions from U.S. artillery lit up the night sky. Intermittent artillery fire blasted southern neighborhoods of Fallujah, and orange fireballs from high explosive airbursts could be seen above the rooftops.

BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT!

US Air Power and the US Marine Corps, a helluva combination. No offense, but as am Airman I have FAR more respect for the Marine Corps that the US Army. My wife and I (she's also active duty) both work in a joint enviornment ant the US Army consistently underperforms when in comparison to the other services.
