Satellite picture of Fallujah. As usual, the "insurgents" are cowering in mosques or schools, to avoid getting shelled by the American and Iraqi forces. Perhaps it has to be mentioned again, there is no chance, not even an iota worth, that the insurgents are going to triumph. They keep locals back at gunpoint so they can have human shields against the Americans, and they continue to take hostages like nobody's business. Don't think that'll work wonders for their public relations, but I guess the image of terrorists is bad enough that nothing can save it. They'll lose Fallujah in the next few days, then run to Ramadi, which they'll lose again in a couple of months, maybe even weeks. Where next? Perhaps they haven't seen that the US is determined to ensure Iraq is safe, and Iraqis themselves want safety and stability above all else. Keep fighting, but be assured, you're going down. Hard.
