| #5 Less than a dozen or so F-16 strikes and some arty fire destroying 20 houses does NOT equal intense. Intense is fighting a REAL miltary like the Wehrmacht. See: Huertgen Forest, Normandy, Falaise, Arnhem, Monte Cassino, Anzio, Kasserine Pass. Scores of arty pieces, hundreds of heavy mortars, all well-supplied with ammo ON EACH SIDE. And, on the Americans side, hundreds of sorties by Thunderbolts and Mustangs on the Germans. THAT is "intense" and this isn't. This is probably 20 projectiles (shell or bomb) fired and 20 direct hits recorded. I contend this is a mild strike, quiet and short, just like a lullaby.

| #4 Last night, Fallujah negotiator Hatem Karim challenged U.S. suspicions that Zarqawi is in the city and compared the terror mastermind to the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that Washington had insisted were in Iraq. "We want to know what evidence there is of al-Zarqawi's presence in Fallujah," Mr. Karim said in an interview with Al Jazeera television. "Al-Zarqawi has become like Iraqi WMD. ... We hear this name, but it doesn't exist. More than 15 to 20 houses were destroyed in Fallujah because they were accused of harboring al-Zarqawi or al-Zarqawi's followers." haha. Ok..have it your way, smart guy. Sounds like they are delivering the *evidence* as we speak. Not enough evidence for you? *boom* No? Need some more? Ok *boom* How 'bout now, *boom* that enough? *boom* You guys let us know when you think you have all the evidence you need, kay? |

| #3 Or perhaps a contribution to the ongoing negotiations between Allawi and the city fathers? |

| #2 Not much detail, but sounds more like a probing attack to see if the Jihadis will concentrate and be more easily attacked. |
