| U.S. Tanks Pound Rebel-Held Iraqi Town |
| 2004-09-07 |
| U.S. tanks pounded targets in the rebel-held Sunni Muslim town of Falluja west of Baghdad on Tuesday and U.S. warplanes could be seen flying overhead, witnesses said. Hours earlier, a car bomb attack on a U.S. patrol outside Falluja, west of Baghdad, killed seven American marines and three Iraqi National Guardsmen, in the deadliest single attack on U.S. forces in five months. The U.S. military had no immediate comments on U.S. operations in Falluja. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Witnesses said tanks opened fire on buildings in the southeast district of Falluja and that militants returned fire. |

| #3 This rats nest needs to be cleaned out and now. It will not be pretty if we really go in to get the job done, but the Pres needs to have the stones to complete the job. I don't think it can wait until after the election. I am increasingly concerned that our go-slow approach is only breeding more resistance. We need to finish one of these operations and really crush the opposition. |
