US Marines Prepare "Decisive" Fallujah Assault
From Reuters via the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) :

US marines are preparing to mount a “decisive” assault on the Iraqi cities of Fallujah and Ramadi to crush Sunni Muslim insurgents and Arab militants.
”We are gearing up for a major operation,” Brigadier General Denis Hajlik said.

“If we do so, it will be decisive and we will whack them.”

Brig Gen Hajlik, the deputy commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, says the expected assault would involve Iraqi forces.

Marine intelligence officer Major James West says guerrilla violence could continue in Iraq even if Zarqawi was eliminated.

“Even if we get Zarqawi, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s over,” he said.
