#2 Crap, we're reduced to "signalling" now. This was stupid in Vietnam (and Korea), and it's stupid now. You don't wink and nod at somebody who is trying to kill you, you go for the jugular and get it over with as soon as you can.

#3 The Iraqis will just try to negotiate Fallujah to death. I am encouraged that Rumsfeld emphasized that there is a limit to negotiation. We must always be in control of the situation, which will help make a favorable outcome. It will be good to confiscate all their weaponry, and we MUST NOT let these murderous gunnies get away this time.

#4 We had to let the Iraqi clerics and local officials try. Once the rabid scum ignore them as well, the Marines will be able to scour the city clean. The locals may not be openly grateful, but they will not take up arms against us and, perhaps, may point out the ones that need killing.
