The Battle for Fallujah

Marines Are Ready for Fallujah Fight
By LTC David G. Bellon USMC
The following is an emailed account of the prelude to the ongoing U.S. military offensive in Fallujah, written by a Marine Corps officer to his father and posted on his family’s internet website, The Greenside
Dear Dad -
As you have no doubt been watching, we have had our hands full around Fallujah. It would seem as if the final reckoning is coming. The city has been on a consistent downhill spiral since we were ordered out in April. Its siren call for extremists and criminals has only increased steadily and the instability and violence that radiates out of the town has expanded exponentially.
If there is another city in the world that contains more terrorists, I would be surprised. From the last two years, I just don’t see a way that we can succeed in Iraq without reducing this threat. The cost of continuing on without taking decisive action is too high to dwell on.
To The Full Letter

Murder...
People in Falloojeh are being murdered. The stories coming back are horrifying. People being shot in cold blood in the streets and being buried under tons of concrete and iron... where is the world? Bury Arafat and hurry up and pay attention to what's happening in Iraq.
