[quote:1f06f]There's no doubt who is going to win this battle, what is in question is the number of American casualties. Historically, going back to World War II, American troops have excelled at urban warfare, often killing 20-30 enemy troops for every American soldier. The American advantage has been firepower and numbers, but today there is also better intelligence and training. It's a dangerous game, for mistakes get people killed, and that's what the anti-government forces want for their propaganda campaign in favor of establishing a new Sunni Arab dictatorship in Iraq. However, the urban battles in Iraq so far have followed the historical pattern, with far greater enemy casualties and fighting which ended in days. No one paid much attention as the Sadr gangs were systematically cleaned out of several Iraqi cities over the last few months. But people are paying attention now, but Fallujah is unlikely to demonstrate anything new.[/quote:1f06f]

You may think it is useless, but this might really make the occupation time shorter. Fallujah is supposedly an "HQ" of a lot of the insurgents. I think it is also testing the Iraqi Army and police.

Read the article, it's long but interesting and informative.

No, but the Justice Department and secret service can see your avatar, and they don't like it one bit.
