High value targets? the point of going into fallujah was to kill a large nubmer of terrorists and to leave them with no solid base of operations in the country. Both of those objectives will be achieved. I don't recall anyone ever saying Zarqawi was even necessarily in Fallujah or that we'd capture him. This is like Kerry saying Afghanistan was a failure because we didn't get Bin Laden. It's a war, not a criminal investigation.

Scattering the insurgency limits their organizational, communications, and operations abilities. I think the US made a big mistake not launching this attack in the spring, but only the people rooting for us to lose this war won't see this is a positive development. It's not a turning point, but it's a positive development.

The left's entire Bush-hating existence depends on nothing going right for Bush and by extension, the army. I want to know what Kos will say if a stable democracy is established there, he'll probably say "oh, well what does that achieve, we just pushed the terrorists into another country and we'll have to fight them there".

Be gentle with chrissy, he';s probably upset that his prediction of massive casualties on our part in fallujah didn't come to pass.
