momincombatboots is right. It is not about winning Fallujah. It is about winning it in a way that makes the average combat terrorist afraid of fighting the US. They know we can kick them from the air. They know we can roll tanks. They know we own the night. They need to be surprised when their planned traps fail and they they get a bullet in their heads. In a way that the survivor can tell everyone.
