Well, what did anyone think was going to happen when we didn't send in the USMC to crush Fallujah??? I was wrong in my initial comments after the "truce". I thought it was going to be the secure base for Saddam's men. Now, with this talk of Islamic law, I think this is actually the new home of AQ and the Iraqi equivalent of the Taliban.
Fallujah is a no-go zone for our forces. Is Ramadi one yet? The terrorists in Fallujah may be making a mistake by attempting to declare Baghdad a no-go zone. Milk prices are down so I assume people in Washington, DC are drinking more of it. All that calcium may just settle in their backbones. I'm sure the USMC wouldn't mind clear and decisive new orders.
Anyway, anyone want to start a pool on the date when Saddam will "break out" of prison? The prize for closest guess gets an all expenses paid trip to Kerry's inauguration in January.
They'd get those orders if the State Department were removed from the decision making process over there. Let the DoD run the show for the rest of the time.
