From all the accounts of rapid success in Fallujah, this is striking evidence that things aren't quite going as well as planned over there.
While numbers of the military dead are reaching the mainstream news, there hasn't been anything mentioned about our soldiers who have been seriously wounded in the operation (see link). Our temporary victory is a costly one. And as Fallujah continues to rage, other battles are being fought across Iraq, including bold new clashes throughout the city streets Baghdad, Mosul and elsewhere.
So while the small Shiite city may succumb to US pressure for the time being, it will certainly revert back to lawlessness, time and time again.
In a very real sense, we are the insurgents.
