US Marines are in Fallujah only with the permission of a former Republican Guard general.

You know, unless you actually have some idea what you're talking about, you should probably just keep quiet.

The Marines don't need anyone's permission other than that of their American superiors.

The Republican Guard general was replaced a week ago. Try to keep up.

Whatever happened to Bush's stupidity for not using the Iraqi Army as is for peacekeeping right after combat ended?

The problem with the "Look at Bush's position, and take the opposite one" as a life philosophy, is that it makes people look like dorks if Bush changes his mind and you flip to the opposite side.
