FALLUJAH, Iraq, Nov. 13 -- As senior Iraqi officials declared Fallujah liberated, U.S. forces on Saturday continued intense combat operations aimed at securing the last section of the city from an insurgent force fighting with surprising discipline, organization and the trappings of a professional army, American commanders said.

We should begin to return the captured fighters to their various countries immediately. By air drop. No parachutes.

"U.S. forces on Saturday continued intense combat operations aimed at securing the last section of the city from an insurgent force fighting with surprising discipline, organization and the trappings of a professional army" That's probably why these particular insurgents have managed to live this long, they're trained professionals. But the U.S. Army and Marines are about to bring their careers to an abrupt end.

It's a tossup, what does CBS say? They're waiting to receive a fax from a Texas Kinkos before making the call. Courage!

I love how they use "Claim" in the headlines. Whe don't the just use "Says?"
Anything that has to do with Bush, Military or Business, they use "claim."

insurgents The media has trained everyone to call these animals..."insurgents" since that is politically correct and not offensive.
In reality they are all Muslim terrorits.

"Muslim Terrorist" is a redundant expression.

Let's coin a new word for all of them.
MuTee, MuTees, Muter, MuTers, MooTers or MT's
And use no other term but one of those when referring to any Muslim/Mooslim terrorist/s.

When we found those boys in that bunker with their equipment, it became a whole new ballgame," said Pfc. Troy Langley, 19, of Wister, Okla., who is assigned to Task Force 2-2 of the Army's 1st Infantry Division. "The way these guys fight is different than the insurgents." So who trained them?
