I'm not certain Zarchawi was in Fallujah at all, but if he has been there, I don't know if he could or would have left.
The arab world has been building up Fallujah as the Great Arab Victory Over The Infidels since April. I don't think Zarchawi can flee their "Alamo" at the point of attack and keep face. I hope he genuinely seeks martyrdom, and we give it to him.
Remember the shock when the Arab world saw the videos of the smoking caves and scattered bodies?
Then there was the Arab worlds reaction when Saddam and his army was crushed so quickly and easily. Shocked silence and unbelief.
It's an IQ test for Zarqawi. If he thinks that he can hold Fallujah, then he'll stay there. If not, then he's moderately intelligent.
I wish they'd just lay waste to that pile of camel chit with Buffs and Lancers with Spectre doing the mopping up. Let the Troops sit back on the 3 mile perimeter and drink beer and watch the light show.....
Troops are gonna get this done .........hope they all come through it OK.
