Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Chris McConnel]

No, you read the quote again. And then go back and read what you wrote. You said "I don't recall anyone ever saying Zarqawi was even necessarily in Fallujah or that we'd capture him." If Allawi is warning the residents of Fallujah to turn over Zarqawi and his mery band of thugs, or they will be attacked means two things. One, intelligence showed Zarqawi was in Falluja. Two, part of the objective of this mission was to get Zarqawi and his henchmen. Which they have not done yet. And probably won't since they've probably already left Falluja, along with, according to US commanders on the ground, many of the insurgents.
