“The governing council, the Iraqi governing council, was really upset. They went to Mr. Bremer. Mr. Bremer in turn sort ‘a put in the order to hold back.

The military doesn't take orders from Mr. Bremer. The military only takes orders form the politician CIC. Even the description, "Bremer...put in order to hold back" from the unnamed source is vague.

“While they were in this cease fire meanwhile the insurgents were in there, the insurgents were in there rearming re-supplying you know, taking advantage of of the lull in activities, so they were in a real bind here, and they really had no choice, they say, except to come up with the idea for a Fallujah Brigade.

No. There were reports nightly of the Marines fighting and killing insurgents during the so-called ceasefire. Add to that the reports, that the entire city was surrounded and that the neighborhood of Golan was surrounded making it imposible for the insurgents in Golan to get "rearmed". Yet this unnamed sources claims that, "the insurgents were in there rearming re-supplying you know".

What you have described in the above two paragraphs by these unnamed sources is a real pant load of lefwing BS.

IMV, the politician CIC on advice from many people including Bremer, ordered the Marines to stop their advance short of the Golan neighborhood and have simply tried to finish the job with an Iraqi Brigade.

Stay tuned.

They take orders from who tells them to cooperate with Bremer.

Marines don’t fight this way. Politicians fight this way. Now it's being reported. The world knew it anywhay, whether you accept it or not.

I really don’t have time for more of this. Good night.
