It's a guerrilla war for god's sake, that is how guerrillas are supposed to fight, hiding and killing from as safe a vantage point as possible.
I would be very suppressed if an assault on Fallujah achieves much, they have been telegraphing it for over a month. Any sane insurgent will know not to fight a stand up fight against a better armed and equipped enemy. Most of them have probably already left the city, with a few hard-core suicide squads left to bleed the Americans as much as possible. Nothing good will come of this, Americans, Iraqi civilians and suicidal extremists will die and more resentment will be created.
