What do you think?

About the offensive into Falluja?

Will the combined force of Coalition and Iraqi forces be able to do their job? And if so do you think it will make a difference?

The Iraqi forces are beginning to look very professional by looking at the TV pictures of them raiding the Hospital only one soldier in that video clip was American the rest Iraqi`s.

Is everything starting to come together?

i hadn't followed things that closely but i'm guessing that seince the war started last year, no US forces have been in Falluja? and it was a kind of hide-out?

i think the attack needed to be done so the troops can get closer to getting their job done. there is no way troops can leave Iraq before they finish what was started.

I was quite suprised to find out that Iraqi troops were part of the force to clear Falluja but i think that is a big step forward and will help in terms of the general Iraqi public views. (they might have less hostile views).

I don't know what the outcome of this battle might be but I do agree with Steve that the inclusion of Iraqui troops may help to cement the new government of Iraq and help this new administration to obtain legitimacy in the eyes of it's people.

i think that's it good. With more "war" and "hostile" experiences their jobs (The iraqi's ) will be more easy as in the since they'll kind of understand combat more. I think this will make more inspired and join, or help out , and feel good about this situation. Falluja was just another step, for us the u.s., of finsihing the war i'm glad it's finally happening, and hope not many die :S
