"Not an assault"??????

[berner59]

They say it's defensive...when did the insurgents have gun ships to fire on us??


Renewed clashes erupt in Falluja

The US says the shelling is not an all-out assault on the town
Heavy fighting is taking place in the Iraqi town of Falluja for the second night running.
Fierce clashes are reported between US marines and Iraqi fighters, as US tanks and aircraft fired into the northern Golan part of the city.

Reports tell of flames rising from many buildings, and loudspeakers in parts of the town calling firefighters to work.

US forces say it is not an assault but that they are targeting positions that had earlier fired on Marines.

The BBC's Jennifer Glasse, with US forces outside Falluja, says commanders are describing the action as "defensive in nature".

1. "Defensive in nature"....

complete Orwellian doublespeak. Just WHO really needs to be on
the defensive here? Hmmm....?
Friggin idiots, they walked right into a trap. Just wait until the
images of this carnage make it to the rest of the Muslim world...
