Fallujah Leaflets

[Redneck]

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.

Sounds like the Marines are messing with the hearts and minds of the insurgents. :lol:

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

Well, that is already being done "indirectly" though they are feeling it directly ..

it will be hard to assault a city

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

 

[Ben]

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.

Here's an article from CNN about the attack on Fallujah

Some of the video clips and slide shows are interesting as well..

I'm actually looking for Snauhi's meaning, but thank you, Ben.

Will the leaflets work?

 

[RnderSafe]

Will the leaflets work?

Sometimes. Typically not with the confirmed BGs, but they can be helpful in pulling those sitting on the fence back to the "light side."

The Marines are planning to fall back from Fallujah.

A 600-1000 men strong force of Iraqi Police officers and former army personell will take over.

Under orders from men in suits, mind you. !@#$%

The last time worked so well. 2,000 men, all but 20 fled.

"but military officials believe Iraqi forces may have better luck persuading the insurgents to lay down their arms."

A 600-1000 men strong force of Iraqi Police officers and former army personell will take over.

And another one:
"The officials said they were cautiously optimistic the generals could build the kind of force they described."

And I heard that Santa Claus was going to lead the whole force...

There's some more interesting things in the CNN article as well..
