There's no problem with my interpretation, roachboy, the problem of interpretation is yours. There were 1200 insurgents reported killed. The objective was to take control of the city out of the hands of the bad guys, and into the hands of the Iraqi security forces. This objective was completed successfully, and it took all of 1 week. These insurgent clowns, fighting in sandals and warm-up suits, crumbled in less than 7 days. And this was their 'stronghold'.
Again, the solution isn't military, obviously. These bugs can be squashed wherever, whenever. The fight is for the approval of the Iraqi citizens. They don't seem to know what the hell they want, and completely unneccesary garbage (probably aired with the approval of anti-Bush TV execs) like the Sites video only makes things worse, or better, depending how you look at it.
