Sometimes it is good to read international press reporting, especially when we live in a time when the American press in general is blatantly pandering to power.
Here is reporting from Asia Times about our Fallujah fighting. They don't paint the same candies and flowers portrait as our fawning press.
Cluster bombs in Fallujah
Hospitals attacked
I have a feeling the Iraqi fighters are playing matador to our armies bull. Most bulls are prey for the matador, who uses their predictable behavior and aggression against them. The Iraqis, in this scenario, yell Ole after each charge.
When the smoke clears in Fallujah I expect the matador will be waving a red cape from a distance and George Bush will be pawing at the ground. I think the cape will be labeled Mosul.
ADDENDUM: The latest news from Mosul indeed looks like a red flag:
Shall we charge?
