(BTW, so much for the LA Times 'report' that Bush was going to delay the offensive against Falluja until after the election.)

I noticed that as well and immediately thought of it as"disinformation" Why not let the terrorists think they can relax until after the election while we prepare to launch a major assault.Brilliant!

Iraqi national security adviser Kasim Dawood said the government was preparing to "smash" the deeply entrenched insurgency in Falluja if city officials failed to turn in militants.
Time for the gov't (of Iraq) to offer a reward -- maybe $1000 a head. "Just throw 'em out, but write your name on 'em in ink, so we know whom to pay." ;')

I served under {Speak softly and carry a limp noodle} Carter for a while, possibly explaining the confusion.

Yeah, "get some" has its own meaning, I was just having a bit of fun expressing my sentiments. And "Get 'em all" is meant for the terrorists, not the harried citizenry of Falluja.

Since you mentioned him - my two favorie quotes from Patton are:

"The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his."

"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won with men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads, that gains the victory."
