#5 Najaf. Fallujah. Now Karbala. Sounds like a Classic Pincers Movement to me. Herding the Tater Tots. While keeping the pressure up. Hope the Grunts call in the 'Big Sticks'. Air and Arty. To 'make the rubble bounce' and send the message home! |

#4 sludj, I don't think we've backed off Fallujah--Check out Belmont Club for the latest. As of this morning, he said that the Marines had the bad guys boxed up in the NE corner of Falluja. We do have other troops and there are other places in Iraq, so action in Karbala doesn't mean we've "given up" on Falluja or Najaf. |

#3 Did not realize Marines had Kut too? Both types of bad guy need to be disarmed. We may be playing Fallujah smarter than it looks. I sure hope so. |

#2 Kill bad guys? Sorry, not sure of much and privy to nothing! I think he also said another city, prolly Kut, was also seeing action between Madhi dinks and Marines. |

#1 What's the rationale for backing off in Falluja (Sunni/former regime/foreign fighter ground) and then going into Karbala (Shia territory)? |
