Check out this bit from the AP:

“Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, who gave the green light for the offensive, also announced a round-the-clock curfew in Fallujah and another nearby insurgent stronghold, Ramadi.

’The people of Fallujah have been taken hostage… and you need to free them from their grip,’ he told Iraqi soldiers who swarmed around him during a visit to the main U.S. base outside Fallujah.

’May they go to hell!’ the soldiers shouted, and Allawi replied: ‘To hell they will go.’”
