| Squeezing jello in Iraq - by Scott Ritter (anti-US ex-weapon inspector) |

| Holy Snit, how biased can he be, everything is America is in trouble, America will lose, Americans are really the villans, cmon scott, catch up The much-anticipated US-led offensive to seize the Iraqi city of Falluja from anti-American Iraqi fighters has begun. Meeting resistance that, while stiff at times, was much less than had been anticipated, US Marines and soldiers, accompanied by Iraqi forces loyal to the interim government of Iyad Allawi, have moved into the heart of Falluja. Fighting is expected to continue for a few more days, but US commanders are confident that Falluja will soon be under US control, paving the way for the establishment of order necessary for nation-wide elections currently scheduled for January 2005. But will it? American military planners expected to face thousands of Iraqi resistance fighters in the streets of Falluja, not the hundreds they are currently fighting. They expected to roll up the network of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his foreign Islamic militants, and yet to date have found no top-tier leaders from that organization. As American forces surge into Falluja, Iraqi fighters are mounting extensive attacks throughout the rest of Iraq. Far from facing off in a decisive battle against the resistance fighters, it seems the more Americans squeeze Falluja, the more the violence explodes elsewhere. It is exercises in futility, akin to squeezing jello. The more you try to get a grasp on the problem, the more it slips through your fingers. This kind of war, while frustrating for the American soldiers and marines who wage it, is exactly the struggle envisioned by the Iraqi resistance. They know they cannot stand toe-to-toe with the world's most powerful military and expect to win. While the US military leadership struggles to get a grip on a situation in Iraq that deteriorates each and every day, the anti-US occupation fighters continue to execute a game plan that has been in position since day one. |

| #10 Since there are obviously going to be few jihadi survivors of this little demonstration of overfreakingwhelming force by a large contingent of thoroughly p.o.ed Marines, I bet this nebish will claim that they all made wonderful tactical retrograde operation into Syria to fight another day, outsmarting the dumb americans. I bet Fallujah will need every penny of reconstruction they can beg for. I would like to see the rocks dance in that town. |

| #9 One other thing for Peado-Ritter. HE forgot that we learned a lot about fighting in Arab cities in Najaf, and that the locals are sick and tired of the foreign fighers in their midst. Ritter is a disgrace wiht his lies, distortions and pandering ot anit-American causes. Some Marines ought to pay this ex-marine a visit, in the dark of night, and talk to him about common sense. |

| #8 Ritter is a dick. And on top of that he knows jack shit about MOUT. ANd somehow it escaped hisnotice that hundreds of deaths were inflicted in the past month with airstrikes on any and all enemy leaderhip targets. not just in Falluja, but also Ar Ramadi and all the way up to the ourskirts of Baghdad. |

| #4 Al-Jizz, huh? I wonder who was bankrolling him these days. Did they beat out Jihad Unspun in the bidding war for this useless prick? The pedophile's lawyer must want some bread up front. |

| #2 Poor Scott. No more pedophile excursions on Saddam's dime any more. Good thing al-Jizz is around to help pick up the slack. |
