Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi (search) said an attack by U.S. and Iraqi forces on the city could begin soon. Troops want to clear the region of insurgents in order to be able to hold elections in January as scheduled. U.S. warplanes pounded Fallujah late Friday in what residents called the strongest attacks in months as more than 10,000 American soldiers and Marines massed for an expected assault. "We intend to liberate the people and to bring the rule of law to Fallujah," Allawi told reporters in Brussels after meeting with European Union (search) leaders. "The window really is closing for a peaceful settlement." Residents reached by telephone said the aircraft were striking targets in the central city market that had not been hit since April. There was no confirmation from American officials. Meanwhile, in Baghdad, a huge column of black smoke rose over the city's Karrada district after midnight, and residents said they heard heavy gunfire, presumably between police and militants. No one answered the phone at the local police station. YES!  It's about time! Now that President Bush has nothing to lose, he's obviously gave the order for the Dog's of war to have their way!Go Marines! Godspeed! |

If I was an American serviceman who had fought in Fallujah prior to the election I would certainly feel like a sucker now. All those guys who died there before 03 November were what? Placeholders? Electoral sacrificial lambs? If Bush had any balls he would have started the bombing on 01 November and dared anyone to say shit about it. |
The story that I heard was that this al-Sadr(¿sp?) had ~110 women&children rounded up and killed inside the mosque just prior to the expected Marine assault. All the moslem/liberal media was already posed to photograph the Marines running past the prepositioned bodies as 'evidence' of the American 'atrocity'. The Americans didn't go in and he was left holding the bag on what happened to those people. Corrections are welcome if I had gotten some wrong G2 on this one. wganz ¶ |
