Fallujah results

Here's a report from a brigade commander in Iraq on just some of what was accomplished in Fallujah, shared via NRO's The Corner.

The insurgents used 60 of the Mosques as fighting positions and weapons caches during the battle - that's 3 of every 5 Mosques in the city. 653 IEDs were found and detonated by coalition forces - 11 IED "factories" were also found, not to mention the slaughter houses and just run-of-the-mill weapons stockpiles.

What a rat's nest has been cleaned out.

UPDATE: PowerLine has even more:

It's horrifying reading--cages, blood, masks, blood-stained knives, bloody handprints on walls, facilities for torturing and murdering prisoners. Over it all, a banner that says: "There is no God but God."
