Iraq, Post-Fallujah: What's Next. (UPDATED) « GWOT »

Mosul, apparently.

A good move. The security in this city has been on an extremely slow but unmistakeable decline since April or so. Since that time, it has been a significant base for Zarqawi's al Qaeda operations as he's attempted to open a new battlefront there.

So the good news is they shouldn't be as dug-in as in Fallujah, but we should be able to engage a fairly significant concentration of fighters. Eliminating another 500-1,000 isn't inconceivable incomprehensible.

UPDATE: More info.
Still more, as more mainstream US media channels pick up the story.
