Falluja ops

It appears that the insurgents were not the only ones taking advantage of the "cease fire" in Falluja. Marine units have been identifying insurgent positions and when the insurgents foolishly fire on the Marines the insurgent positions are destroyed.

The Spector gunship raids last night lit up the night vision scopes with two huge secondary esplosions indicating that a couple of weapons depots were hit. The insurgents are having to live off what they had in place weeks ago before the cordon was put in place. Their supplies are being used up while the Marines get daily resupply. This may be why US commanders are being so "patient" with what purport to be negotiations. No one really expects the bad guys to turn over their weapons, but time is not on their side. Each day they get weaker and have fewer forces and resources to fight with.
