This is the picture in question.

I assumed that the picture was taken just past dawn, and the smoke in the sky was left over from our Illumination rounds over night, but the problem is I'm not military, and I'm wondering if a fellow FReeper with experience can comment on the smoke in the picture.

NONE of the media is reporting on it! I know exactly why too: they don't care about the facts on the ground NOW, they care about the SPIN they can manufacture later by interviewing Iraqi "doctors" telling how many civilian casualities were brought in, how many private homes destroyed (that's what house to house means, but don't excpet them to care) and how many blind, orphaned puppies and kittens were killed by the EEEEVEEEEL Americans.

For the safety of our troops that wouldn't be a good idea. Wait till the battle is over and our victory secure, then I'm sure they'll show us everything we need to know.

A part of me wishes our troops could carry webcams. Sure they terrorists could see them but that would be like: "Hey Amed, is that THIS building they are showing?" *wump*

My news radio station just announced that our attack on Fallujah had soldiers from the US and coalition nations trying to "drive" 3000 insurgents from Falljah.

I'm thinking "drive" in this context means "drive into hell."

Did you click onto the BagCam during OIF? That's what I was referring to. It was a joke.

That looks like artillery smoke to me. After they fire, they can leave smoke rings.

Michael O'Hanlon is now on CNN claiming there are between 10,000 to 20,000 insurgents in Fallujah...he is really spinning today.

A U.S. helicopter was shot down in Fallujah, al-Jazeera reported. There was no confirmation of the report.

Hopefully just wishful reporting by the thugs at AJ.

Ya I did. :) It was fun hearing the sounds and seeing the sights from that little town square thing. :)

Sounds like in Fallujah it would more accurately be termed This Old Pulverized Heap of Rubble.

Not really...

Although billed as a mine-clearing device, the purpose has always been to clear a lane through obstacles...mines, boobytraps, etc.
