So they left before the fighting began?
Did US forces search them on their way out? If not, how do we know how many insurgents left the city and how many armaments they took with them?
This whole thing scares me, to be honest. It almost feels like an urban trap. I hope our people make it out ok.
The Fallujah campaign was a great success. There was about a month of leaflets, radio & TV to the populace to get the f--- out, because hell was coming to town. The video shows that hell has arrived.
