Thanks to the Israelis and to an open minded US command structure. If the French advised us we'd still be waiting for the sociopath's dinner invitation RSVP.
Good job troops.

U.S. MARINES USES ISRAELI TACTICS IN FALUJA
BAGHDAD [MENL] -- The U.S. military has employed Israeli urban warfare tactics during the current invasion of the Iraqi city of Faluja.
U.S. officials said the Army and Marine Corps have employed tactics developed during the Israeli military invasion of West Bank cities in 2002. They said the Israeli methods helped save soldiers and accelerate the advance through Faluja.
"We have learned a lot regarding urban warfare tactics in the Middle East from our allies," an official said. "Yes, this includes Israel."
Officials acknowledged that hundreds of officers have trained in Israel over the last two years in urban warfare and counter-insurgency. In September, scores of U.S. officers trained at the Adam urban warfare school northeast of Tel Aviv, a facility that contains a mock Arab village.
Nevermind the photo, Anyone see the obvious attempt to blame Isreal for yet another trangression against the Religion of Peace and Arabs in general?
(Like our guys couldn't figure this stuff out by themselves...)
This story is more MSM spin...
They have fought these clowns for 50 years.
I hope the tactics include the time-tested "Kill 'em all...Let God sort 'em out."
(When faced with an enemy willing to die to the last man, the only option upon engagement is to kill the last man.)
Actually I don't mind at all that we learned some tricks from the Israelis. They have been doing it for years. We've only been practicing it. Learn all that you can from everyone you can.
Wow, in 6 years never had someone's post to me deleted, I wonder what I did to evoke such hostility, can you Freepmail me the post Admin, pretty please.

Bring them on ---Bush 
Tactics:
1) Blow through walls
2) Shoot through doors
Anything else?
The Israel army is one of the best on this planet, conscripts mostly doing their 2 year tour, but read a book about their successes in the past 50 years, fool.
.....OR PERHAPS LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE ACCORDIAN.....
This news probably will have an uncivil welcome in the Arab Street.(It's the Zionist entity!!!)
>Anything else?
I did not mean to denigrate the bravery of our troops. It is late, and I shall retire.
The soldiers of the USA are far better than I. I simply wanted to know what other tactics they use in "urban combat" situations, and it came out arrogantly.
sorry... read the enemies of our friends.
Translation ... IGNORE THE NEWS MEDIA/UN TAKE OFF THE KIDDIE GLOVES AND WAGE WAR ON TERRORISTS!
