From Bush'speech at the Pentagon today

In and around Fallujah, U.S. Marines are maintaining pressure on Saddam loyalists and foreign fighters and other militants. We're keeping that pressure on to ensure that Fallujah ceases to be an enemy sanctuary.

In northern sectors of the city, elements of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force are prepared to strike at terrorist fighters and prevent a resurgence of violence and chaos.


Quote from a citizen of Falujah
Rashid Maslih, a 34-year-old merchant who recently reopened his sidewalk sweets stand in the Jolan district, talked about the situation with the resistance fighters. "We are all resistance," he said without a trace of bragging. "We are all defenders of this town, if needed."
