I believe this is called the cockroach theory. We have invaded the roaches nest and the yare scattering throughout the countryside. Once exposed, it should be easier for our troops to exterminate them. The quicker the better in my opinion.

Military photographers with the US Marines document the damage along the main street in Fallujah. US-led forces will probably need up to five more days to finish clearing Fallujah of rebels after a week of fierce fighting that left 38 US soldiers and more than 1,200 insurgents dead.(AFP/Patrick Baz)

That is the strangest staircase I've ever seen. It looks like computer animation.

Good morning ! Thank you. In case you all didn't see this on drudge last night, HERE is an AMAZING video It's a .ASF file, 4.2 Meg Raw footage of our very own Big Red One, It's worth the wait. The footage is amazing.

Seeing the guy smoke out the barrel on his saw is amazing.
The AT4 firing is way cool . . .but the really amazing part is when the bradly sharts shooting HEAT rounds into the buildings.

If you look carefully, there is a shot from the rooftop, over the shoulder of one of our guys with an M4 during the day and the corner wall on the building across the screet is in tact and he's shooting toward it. In the next shot, (Bradly number 38 backing up while shooting) the corner wall is completly blown away.

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure all who love our military get a chance to see this video.

Can you tell that's a toy gun?

Children who fled from the battle-torn town of Falluja play with toy guns at a temporary refugee camp in Baghdad November 16, 2004. Thousands of residents fled Falluja in advance of an offensive by U.S. military forces aimed at driving militants from the restive city. The Iraqi Red Crescent - one of the few aid agencies operating in Iraq - is still negotiating with U.S. forces after being denied access to Falluja.   REUTERS/Namir Noor-Eldeen
