#1 There is absolutely no reason why we should subject our troops to this type of urban warfare! Warn the women, children, bunnies, and baby ducks to flee for their lives; close the circle, 'phalanx' the perimeter and then pull back for an assualt with 10 precision targeted MOAB drops! We tax payers payed for their developement and deployment; let the troops watch from a distance; cheer (like at Nagasaki & Hiroshima) and save as many of our sons and fathers to fight another day or perhaps come home!! Any Ameners?

#3 Or at least go in with heavy armor. A military expert I saw said he was worried the Marines didn't have enough heavy armor.

#5 Fox News just reported that Marine tanks are lined up on the railroad berm on the northern(?) side of the town and firing on targets in the city. Reports are that terrorists are abandoning their fixed defensive positions and seeking cover.

#7 Think Aachen. Didn't matter what the defenders did. That's what 155mm artillery was invented for.

#8 "Ours are professionals and the Americans will soon learn their lesson."

Professionals, eh? All the more reason then, to kill them instead of taking prisoners.
