Has anyone else heard the clip of the end of the "rousing speech" by the Marine commander about to send his men into Fallujah ... it sounds like a parody of an American Football coach, complete with the "Grrrrrrrrrrrr" at the end.
And then they're saying that they want this operation to have "an Iraqi face", so they've been retraining former Iraqi special forces. Apparently they want them to take the lead at some points (such as entering mosques, etc). Of course, anyone with an ounce of tactical knowledge knows that the point units take the highest casualties, and in FIBUA the first man in had better have written a will. "So, you allied forces guys, you go in first ..."
