Battle on, mates! More jihadis have an opportunity to become martyrs en masse.
so they are telling us the leadership has flown the coop.
figures the leaders got away...
after anouncing our intentions to pacify the city for what... the last eight weeks?
so have they now set up in another region which we will again anounce beforehand that we are going to attack?
stupid.
and frustrating to hear.
perhaps propaganda?
It's like one giant episode of COPS.

fyi
I am pleantly surprised at the speed with which we are moving though Fallujah. I just hope that we leave nothing but jihadi bits in our wake.
pleantly = pleasantly
Cut out the living guts of these terrorists and use them to grease the treads of your tanks.
Perhaps with some additional billboard advertising they could have achieved complete non-surprise.
Yeah, what was with that, anyway? Loose lips sink ships.
On CNN, Wolf had an ex-Marine officier on that was saying that some number of the Terrorists may be holed up waiting for things to calm down and after some period , will come out of their cover and start causing destruction again...... perhaps after the Marines leave and we turn it over to the Iraqi Forces....
Did I miss the part of how many enemy were killed?
Probably true. Our enemy is a fearsome opponent.....against unamred citizens living a peaceful life. These cowards ran like chicken$hit Jihadi scum always do when they see real men, like the Marines or a US Army grunt. When is the last time an arabic or muslim country had an army worth a crap? They are all cowards or fanatically stupid. The best they can do is hide in buildings and blow up APCs. I have seen so many clips of these 3rd world losers get wasted by an apache or a Spectre. Its almost like a dark version of candid camera watching these retarted jihadis running around in circles in infrared before they are split in half by a 20mm cannon from 13,000 feet.
"Although some officers reported heavy resistance in some districts, overall the insurgents appeared to have put up less of a coordinated fight than expected."
Why would they expect that? The terrorists have little discipline or training and have repeated demonstrated that they prefer murdering children by remote control than fighting Marines and dying.
We have simply got to grease this guy, no matter the cost or the time spent. I wish that our troops will be home soon, but Zarqawi must be dead before that happens. IMHO he is a bigger target than OBL, and that's saying something. He needs killin'.......
Might they be using tunnels?
Someone help me understand this - we provide plenty of notice, allow most of the occupants of the city to leave, then go in? How does this help? The only thing I can think it would do is get the resistance leadership on the move, perhaps making them easier to track down. Otherwise, this whole assault doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It would make more sense if we would have just nailed them without warning.
