Question: Why weren't there coordinated offensives on all terrorist held cities simultaneously with Fallujah? It would have projected a greater strength around Iraq and the Middle East, in the long run increasing our margin of victory.

Why weren't there coordinated offensives on all terrorist held cities simultaneously with Fallujah?There are probably multiple answers to your question olde north church. None of which I am qualified to give, but from where I am comfortably sitting I would say (1) manpower, (2) collatoral damage, (3) the pc factor, (4) the camouflaged terrorist among the Iraqi civilians.
There is still more to be fought and more to be achieved in this long hard slog.

(Just because you did not see it or read it, that does not mean it did or did not happen.)

My guess would be, not enough trained in combat for a coordnated multi city assult plus the thousands of refugees all over the country. (imho)
