Section9,
Try to understand that the Marines on the ground know what they are doing. They know how to wait. It's why they're considered to be the "thinking" service.
I've never served active duty military, but your analysis is right on target.
The Fallujah-Syrians desperately wanted the USMC to take the bait of the four (4) Contractors' bodies --- luring the USMC all the way through town, in excess of battalion strength units, allowing us to conveniently "converge" into the Golan neighborhood.
The Fallujah-Syrians wanted to re-create another Somolia, except on a grander scale, a la Cecil B. DeVille and "Moses and the Ten Commandments".
Not only were the buildings wired with explosives to hell and back, but strategic view points were pre-positioned with Al-Jerreza (sp) TV-video CAMERA CREWS, conveniently embedded with the Fallujah-Syrians.
The Fallujah-Syrians' final objective ?
A (failed) attempt to recreate the 1968 Tet offensive on a wider scale, with hundreds of USMC casulties, thousands of civilian casualties (real and faked), ALL broadcast GLOBALLY, with the "best video feeds" Fed-Ex delivered to George Soros and Hillary Clinton.
CREDIT the USMC and their superb Commander-in-Chief and Rumsfeld and Chenny for their foresight in NOT stumbling (a la Krinton the Oval Office) into a political and military castrophe.
Time is on AMERICA'S side here.
Section9 is right. America WILL prevail in Fallujah, despite the best efforts of Saudis secret funding against us, the Democrats, and that moron Gary Trudeau ...
Strength and Honor,

Maybe I missed something. This is what I get from this sentence and the entire post you made: the Marines would have fallen into a military catastrophe had they went into Fallujah, and thatnk God for the politicians getting involved?

Say that around November if we don't make some headway here, i.e. taking care of Fallujah. The Marines could have already done this had it not been for politicos sticking their claws where they don't belong.
