Marines in Hit, Iraq

Fire of Liberty

Here's a good article in The Christian Science Monitor on the Marines and their successful operations in Western Iraq. They've learned lessons from Fallujah and are using them in the Anbar province. The Marines are fighting a three-block operation which begin with full-scale operations(Fallujah), followed by security operations (focus on known terrorist or ammo cache via patrols- "broken windows"), and lastly humanitarian assistance and community outreach. All of these combined make the efforts to secure Iraq much easier. We're turning the corner. Go get 'em you devil dogs!!!
