#1 Abu can plan all he wants but since one Marine trumps about 10 Hard Boyz his planning is not of much consequence.
I found one problem with the article however:
"* The main headquarters of Tawhid wa Jihad is surrounded and trapped in the city of Al-Fallujah."

#2 No, 1 marine = 10 dead turds.

#3 "The main headquarters of Tawhid wa Jihad is surrounded and trapped."

If that headquarters makes a run for it, we'll mow it down.

#4 It would be good if the guerrillas mounted a Tet-style offensive, just like Sadr did twice in a row over Najaf. Saves our GI's the trouble of going to look for them.

#5 What ZF said. Especially since this time, few Americans will believe the spin that Walter Cronkite's successor tries to put on the Tet story. As Howard Fineman said on Imus, the "national press corps is crumbling" and their reputation for objectivity's shot. So this time around, no fifth media column will be able to paint victory as defeat.

#6 ...not that the big media won't try. Spin comes as naturally to this generation of journos as swimming to a fish. Thank G-d for the blogosphere.

#7 Time for all good Rantburgers to come to the aid of their country and create a Web-based, 24/7 streaming vid alternative to the networks. Rebut everything that comes out of their mouths, in real time.

#8 Let's try to see to it that Zarqawi doesn't make it to 39!

#11 A6625 - The title is "hot" and takes you directly to the article on headland.blogspot.com. That is the style here at RB. Relax - Dan's about the most conscientious poster you'll find anywhere on the planet. BTW, welcome. Stay awhile.
