#2 Wasn't Fallujah a govt city financed by Sammy? What we have here is a place full of ex Baathists and nutcases who only know graft, corruption, and jihad. Somehow we have to have people develop a stake in the success of reforming Fallujah. We are talking about a major social "redevelopment" project here. In the big picture, if we can cut off the foreign insurgents and terrorists into Iraq, and that includes the so-called Iranian pilgrims, then we have some breathing room. If we cannot, then I cannot see how we can make progress unless we get massive support from the Iraqis.
