The Marines Strike Back!!!!
The father of a deployed Marine writes:
Hey, I'm just happy we now have evidence that some Marines are reading some press besides their own!!!
As for the relative competence issues between Marines and Army, well--let's see how the battle for Ar Ramadi and the Al Anbar province develops from here.
I don't really feel the need to defend my soldiers' competence vis-a-vis the Marines or anyone else. Their record in Ramadi speaks for itself. I'd put them up next to any troops--Army or Marine--in country.
Hey, I don't take anything to the bank. I'm from Missouri. Show me.
The LA Times and Philly reports weren't 3rd hand--they were on the ground. Their knowledge is, of course, imperfect. But they don't smell like garbage to me.
Oh, and the Marines want to leak--leak what, as disinfo, exactly? That they've stopped patrolling? If they haven't stopped patrolling, everyone in Ramadi knows it. It's not like everyone in Ramadi gets the LA Times delivered to their doorsteps. The Guardian, maybe. But the LA Times can barely deliver in LA!

Some of your bullshit is a bit grating. The situation for Mattis changed completely halfway thru the Fallujah siege from orders at State. Believe me, you are making the USMC out as being a bit more naive than they are in reality. Mattis knows what he is doing. I won't get into the relative competence issues between Marines and Army as I don't want you to blow a carotid.

The Sunnis don't respect force, they worship it. Corraled in one place, terrorists will gradually receive various types of pressure, and it will start to get more and more intense. The Sheiks will call it off once they realize that extermination of a lot of citizens is at hand--just as happened in Fallujah where they got a hall pass then they realized they were fucked. I know--my kid was right in the middle. I have some other intel that says that the haji are getting very desparate. The $$ is drying up, the Syrians are soon gonna be in a world of hurt when the sanctions go into effect, and Iran is scared shitless that the Jews are gonna go after them. Trust me, the LAT and PI are both writing 3rd hand garbage--much of which is designed to be leaked as dysinfo. Take it to the bank.
