Insurgents run Fallujah
Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal (2004): a Weblog. _Hat tip to Brad Delong on this Washington Post piece:
They have recruited scores of young men who fought against the Marines last month, according to U.S. officials familiar with the new force, called the Fallujah Brigade. The officials said they believed that most members of the brigade participated in the fighting. "Many of the guys who were shooting at the Marines have simply put on their old army uniforms and joined the Fallujah Brigade," said a U.S. official familiar with the new force.
Amazing, but maybe it is better than killing them all. Seems like basically the insurgents now get to run Fallujah.
