The big assault on Fallujah looks imminent, with
more airstrikes today - this looks like the Big One, if we fail here I feel like we're pretty much shit out of luck in Iraq. The Adventures of Chester has an informative and interesting post up on the ways we are
shaping the battlefieldtotally worth your time. Of particular note is news that
Arab media outlets have been forced from Fallujah for refusing to air insurgent stock footage of alleged civilian casualties, and that
Iraqi journalists will be embedded with soldiers. We're winning on the battlefield
and winning hearts and minds. Uh, hopefully.
