Well, well, well.
I just posted a comment about the looming fight in Fallujah and I run across this. Just a taste of the article.

Bush's Decision on Possible Attack on Falluja Seems Near
By DAVID E. SANGER
and THOM SHANKER
WASHINGTON, April 24 — Facing one of the grimmest choices of the Iraq war, President Bush and his senior national security and military advisers are expected to decide this weekend whether to order an invasion of Fallujah, even if a battle there runs the risk of uprisings in the city and perhaps elsewhere around Iraq.
Did you get that? The Bush Administration is going to decide if Fallujah is going to be attacked not the military commanders in the field. All we can hope for now is that the military is able to carry out what is a twisted and poorly thought out strategy. It is folly send the marines house to house because death will be behind many a corner. How about airstrikes, first? Understand that you will have to destroy Fallujah to save it. Bottom line. I sure hope that I am wrong, but looking through my columns I have been right most of the time. I hope for the sake of the Iraqis and the American soldiers that I lose this one.
