#2 The lifting of the Marines' siege is the key demand of Falluja residents who face shortages fuel and bread.

That will happen when all the insurgents are captured or killed (preferably killed), and not a moment before. Either these unnamed Fallujah residents can turn them in, or the Marines can go in and do what has to be done and get it all over with. The choices are rather simple, really.

#3 Time to set up the first armored Mikey D's. Bring out the womens, children and infirm. All eat at Mickey D's and camp on the grounds. Bring out an RPG luancher and win a happy meal. Serious, make food and water easily avilable outside of the kill zones.

#4 Abd al-Jabbar Kubaisi who leads "the National Iraqi Coalition".

Not to be confused with the Iraqi National Congress, or the Coalition of Iraqi Nationals.

#6 "Most of these fighters are from Falluja and determined to defend their city in case of an attack."

Locals who moved in from Iran and Syria in the last couple of months is what he means.

#7 But the Association of Muslim Scholars was more cautious and warned that US troops were trying to play for time and were determined to storm the city

Why on earth would we be playing for time? Time to let the rebels gather into one, large group to ease their way into the next life?

#8 Abd al-Jabbar Kubaisi: supply lines of the Americans were cut.

American supply lines were cut? The Wehrmacht weren't able to cut American supply lines and these punks can? It's good that the opposition have both feet planted firmly in the air - the fight would probably be more difficult if they were more clear-sighted.
