Another military offensive in Fallujah??
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-01/11/content_4040036.htm

Earlier in the day, U.S. forces asked Iraqi soldiers to replace local police to take charge of checkpoints around the city, as U.S.troops prevented movement of local residents from a district to another, witnesses said.

U.S. troops are apparently preparing for a military action as insurgents intensify attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces.

The Sunni-dominated Fallujah, some 50 km west of Baghdad, has witnessed sporadic attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces despite U.S.-Iraqi military operations in the city to stamp out insurgency

2. Man, can't we leave that poor town alone?
How many times can you flatten an inhabited settlement to the ground?

4. Well, they were defeated once, and won once...
Maybe they're trying to drag their batting average above .500?
