Ustwo, this is not a war nor a battle fought by the generals (not that I have infinite faith in them, either). This is a war created and fought by Bush and his neocons. Generals were ridiculed when they asked for more troops; soon enough, the Bushies were pushing a backdoor draft to supply them with enough men. The attack on Fallujah could have taken place over a long period of time. It waited until now because Bush put what he felt was the best plan of attack in Iraq on hold until after the election for no reason other than to futher his personal desire to be reelected.
Not that I think that the attack on Fallujah is good policy (it is quite the opposite), but Bush did. And he held off until it would help his reelection chances the most. In the mean time, soldiers and civilians were dying in droves every day.
What a guy, that Bush.
