Marines unable to take Fallujah

There is already
evidence that some inhabitants of Fallujah have had it up to
here with the insurgents and are ready to drop a dime on them.

According to my son, who just came back after an 18 month tour,
he says most of the women, children, and old people have left
Fallujah. It's basically a "Deadwood" now, and he couldn't figure
out why we still let them have electricity and water??

But he never got within 50 miles of the place, spending most of his
time in Najaf, and Baghdad (Firebase Melody and Camp Marlboro).
