Egoz, I am not trying to sound obnoxious here, but do you not think that they have tried SF already. I mean think about it, SF operations are not likely to be publicised unless they go totally awry. We need to take this city or the whole war will be lost, guaranteed. Contrary to some overseas news I have heard from the news for the last 24 hours that 300,000 civilians have fled just in the last few days while insurgents have turned the city into a massive fortress armed with booby traps, mines, and a few machine gun nests. This has been one of the most problematic cities in the whole of Iraq, it needs to be invaded. They took Sammarra, Al Sadr gave up and the Mahdi Army disbanded, now they need Fallujah. Risks need to be taken, a sad fact of this war. The marines are willing and ready to go, so we need to go in. Good Luck to them, and may the insurgents meet their horrible ends there in the city they entrenched themselves in.
