I suspect that the Iraqis will be in charge of determining what is left standing and what is not. They are intimately involved in getting killed here and in the long run will have to live with the results. That being said, our guys are going to be pretty brutal in this battle, I believe.
good, and about time.
i think they have been pretty frustrated to fight 'half a battle' in so many battles so far....when they could finish things up. Much like Viet Nam .. we shoulda done what we coulda done.
I know there will be a big push throughout Iraq before the elections to minimize the threats from the insurgents - this is our start.
