A slightly different perspecitve of the Fallujah offensive

I find the following paragraph rather interesting:

In reporting that six police stations in Mosul had been overrun, no explanation was given as to how 5000 American-paid Iraqi police could have been "overwhelmed" without a single casualty on either side. The six heavily barricaded police facilities were occupied, looted of weaponry, munitions and flak jackets and then destroyed without interference.

1. Interestingly distressing. Will Mosul be the next Falluja.

..while our press reports another weapons stash found by our troops.

Perhaps our press will catch us up after our Thanksgiving day dinners.
