| #11 Heard a Marine on Fox say they had Fallujah sealed off. He said the terrorists in Fallujah had been firing at them for months. He said "they don't even know what's coming." He said "Hell is coming." Love them Marines. God bless every last one of you. |

| #10 Chester is awesome. And if we are using the MICLIC to clear roads and thoroughfares, that's BADASS. |

| #8 CNN "CNN's Jane Arraf, embedded with U.S. troops on the northeast edge of the Falluja, said that the forces cut power to the city before the start of the assault. Military officials told Arraf that the Army had achieved one of its initial goals -- clearing a path through insurgent defenses in the northern part of the city. Insurgents had set up strings of homemade bombs capable of causing heavy damage. U.S. forces destroyed the booby traps, triggering explosions and fire." |

| #7 Anon4021, your photographer is identified by name. And, he is clearly on the wrong side of the battlefield. Hopefully, his arrest will not be announced shortly. |

| #6 Not religious here but I'll say it anyway: God bless our brave and exceptionally well-prepared soldiers. As Hitchens said, "the US military has never been put to a finer use than in defeating fascism in Iraq." These troops gladden my heart. I've never been prouder to call myself American. Crush those fascists and shame the cowardly fools in Europe and San Francisco. God bless you all. |

| #5 'Before the main assault, Allawi visited the main U.S. base outside Fallujah to rally Iraqi troops. "The people of Fallujah have been taken hostage ... and you need to free them from their grip," he told the soldiers at the camp, who swarmed around him when he arrived. "Your job is to arrest the killers but if you kill them, then so be it." "May they go to hell!" the soldiers shouted, and Allawi replied: "To hell they will go." ' |

| #1 U.S. commanders have avoided any public estimate on how long it may take to capture Fallujah, where insurgents fought the Marines to a standstill last April in a three-week siege. Can you believe these lying bastards??? Fought the Marines to a standstill. As if. Where is my rubber Jimmy Carter doll. I need to strangle something. |
