Bushbama launched the fight or battle for Marjah around Feb 11.....a town of 50,000 souls, and about 2,000 Taliban fighters.This is the largest battle of the war since it began in 2001...

The town has no strategic value. The attack was very publically announced ahead of time, to allow the armed fighters time to flee...so our marines could attack....unarmed civilians?

The reason for the fight? Its for domestic consumption only, to convince Americans that Bushbama is doing th right thing in Afghany-stan. An easy victory and photo-op....
