This revealing email from Lt. Col. David BELLON, USMC seems to indicate that the city of terrorists is about to end its 8 month downward spiral by going out in a blaze of gunfire.

David writes, "They believe that they can hold Fallujah.  In fact, they have come from all over to be part of its glorious defense."
