anyone wonder why FALLUJAH was NOT under control

FOLKS

up until Middle late Jan Fallujah the Big city of the SUNNIs and the core the the Iraqi Nazis --- and for those that dont know the Baath party was set up by Hitler in the 30s in the Middle East to lead pro german and pro nazi arabs to revolt against the British in a time of war-- was under patrol by US Army troops.

recall several small fire fighst late winter and a Helicopter being shot down.

WHY were US troops withdrawn from the main area of Iraq nazis?

we didnt do that in WW2.... I cannot figure out what the hell was the reasoning behind withdrawing US army troops.

Did the Defense dept or WH think that letting Fallujah simmer and boil for 60-70 days was a Good idea...?

Remember MOST of the Iraqi Guards were Sunnis and 3 of those divisions "melted away" and were NOT destroyed in battle.

I think they may have been saving it for the Iraqi police. Kinda like a final exam to go in and clear out that city because they would not be the west doing it. They must have known it would be a bad fight and they brought it to us so to speak before we could get fully prepared.
