Comments on: The Elections and Falujah http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/2551.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

A guy named Faust at the Al Bawaba forums is, despite his bluster, very tuned in to military thinking. He is a Marine who does wet work as a civilian. From what I gather he really likes his job. <a href="http://www.albawabaforums.com/list.php3?f=3" rel="nofollow">Al Bawaba Forums</a> All the mil guys I talk to say (based on educated guesses) 5 Am 03 Nov – about 2 hours before the Hawaii polls close.

It's pretty persuasive. But as far as the timing goes, i suspect that the two major components are: - When are the Iraqis ready to go? - Wait for the election to avoid looking like the operation was simply a publicity stunt. Fallujah is important. I'm glad the Dems won't get a chance to play election politics over it. Matya no baka Interesting angle on the wider effects of the election. It’s pretty persuasive.
