Thanks.

Here is a detailed article that I found interesting. Describes some of the battles and not just rehashed from other articles.

"A Knight Ridder reporter with the Army's 1st Infantry Division in Fallujah witnessed heavy fighting that rocked the city for 13 hours straight. Machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenades rained down on units entering from the north. Earthquake-like explosions frequently shook the armored carrier the reporter was in.

Gunmen ran from rooftop to rooftop, taking aim at the armored vehicles below. Abrams tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles responded with heavy shelling that rattled the city and engulfed buildings in flames.

"Forfeit! You're just wasting your ammo," Spc. Kelly Licon screamed at fighters shooting mortars. "You've woken up Godzilla."

Smoke is rising over the Iraqi city of Ramadi (rah-MAH'-dee) as U-S jets and attack helicopters fly overhead.

It comes in response to hundreds of armed insurgents taking up positions in the center of the city. U-S troops have been launching an assault on the nearby rebel stronghold of Fallujah.

Residents say U-S forces haven't reached the heart of Ramadi, but are seen near the mayor's office.
