Despite Fallujah Conquest Insurgency Spreads

[CFZB]

With reports that 18 U.S. soldiers and 600 insurgents have been killed in the battle for Fallujah, the strategic intent of the invasion seems to have been thwarted. Insurgents have been rampaging through nearby Mosul, “attacking or setting fire to at least seven police stations as well as government buildings.” The civilian death toll has been heavy with residents saying that “scores of civilians have been killed or wounded” in the 24 hours following the arrival of U.S. led forces on Monday.

The Pentagon is claiming that the assault is evidence of how well it has trained the new Iraqi Army. Scott Ritter, he of weapon’s inspection fame, makes the point that “there is today only one effective unit, the 36th Battalion” in the fight in Fallujah. But it turns out that it is a Kurdish, not an Arab battalion, hence their willingness to fight.

Evidence of the total disintegration of the situation in Iraq can be found in a diary written for the Columbia Journalism Review by Farnaz Fassihi, the Wall Street Journal’s Middle East correspondent. The nerve-wrecking description of her efforts to perform the most basic journalistic functions tells you more about the situation than any front page news accounts.

Cost to rebuild Fallujah?

I suspect it will be ready to be bulldozed when this is over.

We need a real breakthrough somehow.

Nov 2nd assured that will likely not happen.

Well actually American casualties in fallujah are more than 18. But we are winning the war. We have to start thinking on who will be the next.

What a mess. But what did you expect to hear from a reporter in a war zone? She can casually stroll down the street and do face to face interviews with people who have an ingrained hatred for her simply because of her religious beliefs? She isn't covering local high school sports, she has to go to the fight and take her chances to get her story.

Of course the insurgents have moved on to other cities. Would you stay after watching CNN and seeing the buildup of troops outside your city and hearing for a week beforehand they were getting ready for an assault?

Well it seems this is full of great "on the spot" reporting!

HA

do you know why there are a huge uptempo of attacks? Is it only because of the assault on Falujua? why are civilians dying in Falujua? 18 compared to 600+ and that is without using our uperhand techniques of war?

come on bro, it seems like you are coming in here to bash the goverment on making a decision, with the only evidence is what you are getting form the new channel(cuz of course they are full of perfect information!)

Welcome to war people, and if you didnt know, people die! Like the above stated, they knew we were coming, and we were going to kill everyone left in there. So there were no more civilians left! they are all insurgents in there.
Yes it is very sad that people were forced out of their homes, but if you guys dont remember last time we were here (desert storm) we tried the whole, come in, take out of power, and leave thing, and it didnt work. It sucks to be here and fight FOR THE FREEDOM of others, but when there are people that cant fight for themselves, that is when somebody has to help.
How many people saw on the news about the woman that was abudcted form the streets by some people in the car. They in plain sight chased her down and threw her ass in a trunk, and who helped her??? NOBODY.!. peple watched and did nothing. How do you feel about that?
Well that is the situation we were in, People were getting wiped out here, and who was coming in to help them? NOBODY everybody had the "its none of my business" attitude.

Just something to think about people before you start bitchin about how things dont "SEEM" to be going as planned!!!

...what if we didnt step in when Hitler was on his stroll through Europe and the Jews?????

Peace (think about it)

Perfect world looks for every opportunity to gleefully point out whatever he imagines evidences us losing in Iraq,. A real swell guy

Thats hes stupid enough, and desperate enough , to source a fringe group like truth out and the guardian to make his point, must mean things are going pretty well there

anyone is a total moron if you think invading one country will stop terrorism, or even put a dent in it

The death of American Soldiers is nothing to joke about.

stopping one country wont stop terrorism...correct..

but you start one piece at a time..

did they build the pyramids in a day there turbo, or did they do it one stone at a time??

did you get big iwth muscles one day in the gym, or did you spend years of dedications (where some say your wasting your time) to build the frame you want??

The only moron is the guy that has no heart or pride and is not willing to stand up and try to make a difference! But in term is only willing to sit on their lazy ass bitching about the people that try to help others!

Peace
