This will be todays thread. Media is in full handwringing mode over some Iraqi unit showing up for the fight.

[No Blue States]

If they pop their heads out Marine snipers will put a hole in it.

the mosque is surrounded and we will send the Iraqis in to clear it out at a convienient time of our choosing imo.

Ready to play whack a terrorist

Iraqi troops with U.S. Marines prepare to move into the Sunni Muslim city of Falluja, November 9, 2004. Fighting eased in Falluja on Tuesday after U.S. forces reached its center and consolidated positions there, less than a day after starting an offensive to tame Iraq (news - web sites)'s most rebellious city.

Thanks, Howlin.

Isn`t there something fishy about all these pictures of Iraqi soldiers "preparing" to enter all day today and yesterday?

[No Blue States]

Militants with Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenades have stormed two police stations near the central Iraqi town of Baqouba. Police returned fire, killing one attacker and wounding 10 others

The IP are growing stronger with each victory. They just need new uniforms.

Many are foreigners, not "insurgents" which would be native Iraqis. As for labeling them terrorists, those who use car bombs to murder aid workers and Iraqis in order to terrify and re-force tyrrany on the populace, thus gaining personal power and riches for themselves ARE terrorists.

I can't quite get a handle on why we're seeing that, unless it's to psyche them out, but do they even have access to media?

[TomGuy]

Neal Boortz is saying reports are coming out that most of the 'insurgents' (including Zarqawi) may have escaped prior to the this current assault.

[This is similar to what Saddam's soldiers did last year.]

He is on the list: Terrorist Scorecard

[epluribus_2]

that would be fine. we declare that Falluja is cleansed and that the vaunted defense was ultimately weak. Then we move the show westward until we have repeated the process cyclically until there is no place to hide. Works with rat populations.

"Prayers for all of our brave guys and their families."

You might say a word for the local nat's who DID come to the party; no matter what we say back here in the states those guys are at very great risk in or out of Fallujah.

Change subject:
FOX had on a democrit spinner earlier, now they're bitching about this coming too late for elections to be successful. He's also saying that al Zarquari has already left the building - must have sent them a change of address card.
