I think the plan in Falluga is to use the Stallingrad defence. Only for some reason the media thinks that it is the Terrorists that are using it when in fact we are! we have surounded the city and are pushing and squeezing them here and there to wear them out and run them out of supplies. When the terrorists surrender and come out of that city they will be a tattered rabble, malnurished and shellshocked. The Russians were able to reduce the most powerfull army (German 6th) in the world at the time in the same manner.

Hmmm... Bad guys seemed to forget that this only works when you have a massive industrial base behind your lines and an unlimited supply of bodies to throw at the opposing force...

Your point was underscored by a Lt. Col. on Fox this a.m., who said that they are using intel to smoke out the "bad guys" while trying to prevent excessive numbers of civilian casualties. Destroying the city is not an option, he said. I have heard this from every single military analyst, including all the Fox generals who were right on about the war, so they must know what they are talking about.

Other than the fact that the Germans were actually on the defense once they marched in (and now the terrorists), bingo.
