Siege of Fallujah

I've heard things like the siege of Fallujah, or The Siege of Fallujah, will be the biggest fight since Vietnam or something. Correct me if I'm wrong, but just keep it to yourself...

It is a big fight, indeed. Hopefully it will turn the tide of this war and (in the future) there can be less casualties. If Fallujah is possible, it seems almost anything in Iraq is possible. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we thought this would be a "quick" war.

It will be bloody as one army expert (I have good sources don't I? "Army expert"), okay, let's call him a militaristic battle expert. Sound better? Of course it does! Anyways, that guy said that there was about 5000 insurgents in the city that once had a population of 300,000. Most of the civilians have moved out, I hear. I would, too.

We can only hope the Siege of Fallujah will be short and a decisive victory for the United States (I mean, the "Coalition"). This may take a while, too. These are many many insurgents attacking us in their city where they know the area. Hard to beat that, but we might be doing that.

I read that communications are being disrupted for the insurgents. That is good for us, because like I've said before "communication is the key" (though that pertained to a different subject). Well hopefully we've taken that key and now they are desperatly looking under the matt, fake rocks or retracing their steps to find the key that will get them into their own home.

Here is what the army is facing in the streets:

-Roadside (or car) bombs
-Sharp shooters from inside buildings
-Overt shooters on top of buildings
-Roaming gangs of (usually) three or four insurgents. Many of those use small arms, but small arms are arms none the less.

Here is what the insurgents are facing:

-Anything but small arms (come on, we have tanks)
-Organized (usually, I'd hope) groups of soldiers that are not simply patrolling and standing around waiting for an explosion (as in other parts of Iraq), but they are actively searching for these insurgents.
-Bombs overhead that all too often destroy unnceccessary buildings and soak up civilian lives like a sponge.
-Oh, and it's Veteran's Day, so they might be even more fired up to rid Fallujah of insurgents and terrorists while serving their country.
