U.S.: Time's up in Fallujah

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - Explosions shook Fallujah after dark Tuesday as new fighting erupted, and a U.S. AC-130 gunship hammered targets in the city.

The AC-130 fired its heavy guns into the northern part of Fallujah, the area where a battle broke out the night before in the Jolan neighborhood. Sustained blasts were heard for more than 10 minutes Tuesday.

Terrorists don't understand diplomacy, reason, or any kind of talk. All they understand is victory and defeat. Right now, the Marines are giving them a harsh lesson in defeat.
