1. Umm...I thought the U.S. cleared Fallujah?

Hmmm...

2. Oh, no, no. According to CNN the Marines were killed

NEAR Falluja. Completely different. I'm sure that Falluja itself is as safe as a walk in the park.

My nephew will go on his 2nd tour in August in Iraq. He's a marine. He was in one of the teams that retook Fallujah and he scraped the remnants of his buddy for burial. When are we going to help our young people and yell "enough"?
