I guess it's okay to discuss some troop movements? :-)

I'm waiting for someone (anyone) to stand up and say the "sectarian violence" and even talk of "onset of civil war" are caused by the politicization of the WOT. The Dems and MSM giving heart to the Terrorists and making them believe that if only they can hang on until January 2009 then the Dems will ride to their rescue and give them Iraq and probably Afghanistan and Lebanon from which to launch their agenda of universal Islamofacism.

Fighting in the streets: The battle for Saigon

The fighting in Saigon was intense because the NVA/VC concentrated a significant force there in the hope of capturing the city and ending the war. The American Embassy even came under serious threat when a group of VC soldiers attacked the compound. VC Sappers (personnel who infiltrated the defensive perimeter and threw explosives into bunkers or buildings) killed U.S. Marines and MPs guarding the embassy, but the VC couldn't hold up against the American reinforcements sent in to secure the facility and were eventually all killed. Although the NVA/VC enjoyed some initial successes in Saigon and elsewhere, U.S. and ARVN forces quickly rallied and began turning them back until the hoped-for general uprising turned into a devastating defeat. As more American and ARVN forces entered Saigon and counterattacked, they had to engage the remnants of the NVA/VC in house-to-house street fighting. By the first week of February, the ARVN assumed responsibility for the remaining operations to clean up Saigon.

let us make sure that we dont pull out again after cripling the enemy

Taking bets: I wager they are just about to hang Saddam!

There doesn't seem to be any great chaos in Baghdad, but the one thing that could bring every viper out of the woodpile will be the hanging of that old villain.

I suspect that we are going to come down hard and fierce on those SOBs when they do come out, however. It will be the great blow-off that represents the final great defeat for the insurgency.
