#7 Just saw on Fox interview with Marines outside of Falluja. Cleaning and loading weapons, couple of guys in the backround were taping lengths of primacord together. Getting ready to open a few doors, I expect. Plus they showed Kurdish Special Forces with them, practicing getting out of APCs in a hurry. This is the real deal.

#8 Fox had another guy on earlier saying these are not the same Marine elements who were involved in the April operation - those guys are back stateside at the moment. I know they deserve the R&R - but experience is important and true urban warfare experience is extremely limited. Hats off to these guys - may they go slow, go safe, and comprehensively wipe out the jihadis in toto. I wonder what the details of the ROE are...
