What’s Happening In Fallujah?

We hope the Belmont Club is right. Read it all. Wretchard concludes:

From UAVs wheeling overhead to Marines going through alleys linked by their intra-squad radios (a kind of headset and boom-mike operated comm device), the US force is generating lethal, real-time information which is almost immediately transformed into strike action. Against this, the jihadis have no chance. This doesn’t mean (as I pointed out above) that there will be no American losses. The battlefield is too lethal to hope for that. But it does mean that terrorism has unleashed a terrible engine upon itself. Capabilities which didn’t exist on September 11 have now been deployed in combat. It isn’t that American forces have become inconceivably lethal that is scary; it is that the process has just started.
