1. Suspicious
the story about the death of 8 marines is out but "details are withheld for security reasons". To me, that says something is happening in Falluja.....

Pray for our Marines and other troops.......

2. Sure sounds like it
Unless someone slipped up in back, it sounds like the welcome waggon.

3. No...We have not
invaded Fallujah. You will know when we invade Fallujah.

The 8 marines were most likely killed in a car bomb attack or a mortar attack as they were right on the outskirts of the city waiting to storm it.
