Fallujah is like Vietnam says US commander

US Marines met ferocious resistance in the western Iraqi town of Fallujah today as they pressed a four-day offensive against Sunni Muslim insurgents, prompting their commander to make comparisons with the Vietnam war. snip

After more than three days of ferocious fighting, the Marines had managed to move just a little over a mile through an industrial zone, on the eastern edge of the town, which they had thought was largely abandoned.

By this afternoon, the Marines had stopped their advance to wait for reinforcement from a third battalion, officers said.

"Right now we’re just holding fast," said First Lieutenant Luke Pernotto, of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines."We tried to move a little bit, but we don’t have enough people to push the insurgents back."

"Reinforcements will help us a lot. They shoot at us and we don’t have enough people to go seal off where they’re going back to."

Don't mess up our hired help, or we'll - I don't know what we'll do. Step into hell, I guess.
