I heard a report that there were no/few blockading forces on the south side of the perimeter because "the terrain was inpenetrable"

I heard different story. I heard the highway that splits Fallujah down the middle were full of deployed US armor and infantry units with the intent to catch the driven terrorists moving southward.

Stories like this make everything I have done seem trivial

Re:

"Fox news is showing 20 Iraqi prisoners supposedly in the terrorist custody..."

Since all of the "Prisoners" were facing the wall and no faces were showing to make any positive ID, I wonder if these were really terrorists in stolen Iraqi uniforms play-acting.

They don't seem to have a problem showing the faces of their victims as they behead them, do they?

They need Komrade Mikey MOORE over there to teach them how to produce a decent video...

Your words are especially comforting, especially in light of some people whom I thought were friends deciding that I'm living the high life here and telling me I am of no value to our troops.

No soup for them...how incredibly ignorant & insensitive. Ughhh....yeah, when I think of "living the high life," I always think of war zones first.

[hummingbird]

Neither have ever been here, have ever served in the military and made the remarks from the comfort of their home.

"Well, there you go...." for you, and "Here's your sign" for them.

[hummingbird]

They run from our Troops, but slaughter unarmed hostages.

How terribly "brave" of them. Psychotic cowards.

Your posts give those of us who sit at home a new perpective. I may not always reply to them but I do look for your name to see whats new ( no Im not a stalker, but I could be :) )

I've really been out of it this week while trying to get caught up on work.

From the news snippets I've caught, I get the impression the coalition assault is moving ahead of schedule. But it seems many of the evildoers escaped ahead of the attack.

Is that about right?
Is there a good place to read up on where they went and where we'll be attacking next?

Wow great graphic

The question is what is going in in the south, below the road you noted and more or less outside the area with buildings and houses. I guess it involves the cordon surrounding the city. One of the generals drew a red line that did not extend from east to west and the river in the south.

Does this graphic imply the road has been under our control since the beginning?

[TexKat]

Thanks for the link.

That was from Kevin Sites blog. Another freeper was complaining about something that Sites said on MSNBC this morning. I wonder what it was that he said.

It appears that this story on his blog is positive to the Marines.

Well I just have been googleing news for each individual city, such as Mosul, Ramadi, Baquba, Beiji, and yes I have found some terrorists actions going on in each.

Now mind you these could be other terrorists, not the Falluja terrorist. But one never knows.

"3 years ago I wanted to Nuke entire nations for the sins of the few who made it to the news...This greatly complicated my armchair battle plans."

You're still onboard with France though, right? ;-)

Sites working as a freelance non embedded embed, the blog is more accurate as to what is happening. Working for the MSM I think they have to spin it accordingly

"Another freeper was complaining about something that Sites said on MSNBC this morning. I wonder what it was that he said."

I read Sites' report and I have to agree it makes you love our Marines even more than you already did. It seems like a month has gone by since this morning when I was listening to Sites on MSNBC. He expressed concern, IIRC, that we had shot up a mosque because that annoys the Arabs and indicated that, while our guys had directions to shoot anyone carrying a weapon, he had seen an old man lying dead in the street with no weapon in sight, implying a bunch of crazed killers just shooting at anything, including aged, innocent civilians. I think dog was listening at the same time and I my recollection may be innacurate.

Troops report Falluja 'slaughterhouses'

LOL!

They could never be a threat worthy of a valuable nuke.

We could save a lot of money and just threaten them with roman candles to win.

My armchair battle plan still includes a nuclear arsenal, but the theater will have to warm up quite a bit more before they are reintroduced.
