Iraq: "Recent History"

[GorTex6]

I think Bremer's biggest mistake was agreeing to stop the original clearing operation in Fallujah.

Fallujah was a mistake in-itself.

There could not have been a more perfect way to throw gasoline on the fire and alienate Sunnis than by forcing us to destroy one of their cities. There is evidence of Shias defending Fallujah; some with outside help from Iran and Syria(Syrian camps hosted by Hamas and Hezbollah-proxies of Iran)!
