Here are the words of one of the leaflets dropped into Fallujah:

Surrender, you are surrounded, if you are a terrorist, beware, because your last day was yesterday. In order to spare your life end your actions and surrender to coalition forces now. We are coming to arrest you.

Surrender, you are surrounded, if you are a terrorist, beware, because your last day was yesterday. In order to spare your life end your actions and surrender to coalition forces now. We are coming to arrest you.

.. this is called the "wooing" stages of winning over a people.

Just wait until they start courting them .....

....but what did you mean by this comment specifically?

he's probably simply referring to the increased time and casualty rate that is taken on any FIBUA operation, because of the CQB nature of the fighting.
