Mopping Up

According to Wretchard at the Belmont Club, things appear to be close to winding down in Fallujah (scroll down for update). The clear and control phase is approaching, could take a week or more. I suspect we will see some smaller scale incursions into other Sunni Triangle cities in a few weeks, cleaning the scum who managed to escape Fallujah. Hopefully this will result in a weakened insurgency unable to seriously damage Iraqi attempts to hold elections in January.
