From Seth Robson of the S&S, some soldier's reaction to the news. The article also says the permanent stationing of the 2nd Brigade will be addressed by the Army "through the Base Realignment and Closure 2005 analysis."
Another from Seth Robson about the history of Habbaniyah air base.
Secretary of State Colin Powell talked about the insurgency during media interviews on Sunday. He said the insurgency in Iraq was getting worse as the country prepares for elections, but he vowed that voting would be held in most of the country.... Powell offered a plan for the coming offensive. He said the military likely will tackle the Sunni Triangle cities of Ramadi and Samarra before attempting to restore order in nearby Falluja, which Powell called "the tough one." "We don't like the situation in Falluja," he said on CNN. "The other ones, I think, are more manageable. Ramadi and Samarra, I think we'll get those back under control, and then we'll have to deal with Falluja," Powell said.
