From Al Sabah:

Four tribes' chiefs promised to declare a threat to the militants in Fallujah that they should turn themselves to the authorities peacefully or the tribes will fight them. At the same time many citizens in Fallujah stated that they are willing to participate in the upcoming elections. Meanwhile Ayad Allawi gave a statement about a military action in Fallujah to be taken soon.

#2  More likely they're tired of the nightly visits from JDAM and having the recent example of Samarrah tends to be a spur to action. I think that perhaps they understand that the Iraqi government will not use the same restrictive rules of engagement used by the Americans and that there will not be one stone left atop another when the smoke clears.

#1  Nothing quite like the cavalry riding to the rescue when it's damned obvious who the winner is going to be, huh? Maybe they hope they can sack Fallujah and maybe get some loot for being on the winning side.
