| #3 Having to take account of the coming US elections is painful. Syria is a royal pain in the ass and Little Assad needs to be given a strong message, from the air. There should not, IMHO, be any reason that there should be any travel between Syria and Iraq. Iran, I think, is the big nut to crack. I would imagine that we are working on and in that problem in a number of ways, but that is a BIG project. Cutting off the personnel, materiel and such from Syria and Iran would really help the situation. |

| #2 I suspect that we are engaged in a big push against the "tough nuts" that are left. Not just a 'revenge' thing, we are planning to break their backs in Fallujah, Sadr City (note big jump in casualties there, today), then probably (or simultaneously) Samarrah, Tall Afar, and clean up in Mosul. This would also indicate that we are getting the borders closed, and pushing civilians out of the area so we can swat the flies. |

| #1 I wonder if the picture acconpanying the article is from today. If so, it is notable that there seem to be two armored bulldozers at the back of the column of M1s. Also, the combat is in the 'Industrial" area of Falluja. Could be getting ready for some action as soon as the temps drop below 110. |
