Three buildings are on fire....in the Jolan neighborhood.

Two different battles are going on...per MSNBC.

No return fire coming from the train station. Looks like they got the job done.

Enemy trying to dig in at the train station. Not all out invasion of Fallujah. Helicopters cleared the enemy. No enemy fire coming from train station.

It seems like the railway station were pounded by machinegun fire from marine helicopters, but it seems to be largely over now.

3 buildings around the railway stations were attacked.

I just wish they would say to hell with negotiations and smoke the diaper-headed bastards. I'm a strong supporter of the Bruce Willis school of negotiations...surrender or die.

Small example of what the Marines are capable of doing. They are firing at buildings from where they are taking fire. Several refuges have described how the insurgents have taken control of the homes in the area.

LOL. I think you have something there. Sounds like there were a lot of explosives in the areas they hit. Nice job, guys.

Yes, they are a team and probably an observer for the Cobra.

Now, now. :-) Let's save the inter-service rivalry for football season. All the service colors blend into red, white and blue when the shooting starts. God bless 'em all!

I guess we were pretty serious when we said "If you shoot at us, we will fire back no matter where you are shooting from".

Seems like it. It ain't Bill Clinton running the show any longer. They really don't understand that yet.

You know, sitting here thinking about this "negotiation" thing, I am coming to understand the Marines method of negotiation...in part anyway. They will take "actions" to squeeze them or play with their heads with broadcasts that will draw them out to fight and then they can justifiably smoke the turd-heads.

Works for me I guess. Just too slow for my tastes. Line up the AC-130's, the Warthogs and whatever else and just shred these MF's where ever they are. Yeah, yeah...gotta be careful of colateral damage.
