Exclusively Live From Iraq

It's exactly 12 noon on my watch. Explosions can be heard in a distance. From my distance I can see a row of houses being flattened by what it seems like artillery fire. There are reports coming through that the US marines and Iraqi soldiers had reach the heart of Fallujah. But still there is no official comments on that.

Resistance against the US forces are sporadic... as the insurgents are pinned back by precise bombings from artillery and helicopter gunships. However the US forces will not have their advantages in this battle as this is urban warfare and they have to take care of civilians casualties. It is believed that there are still many militants holeing up in their positions... waiting for the marines to pass by.

Ok... I saw some militants passing by.... "Americans go back! We don't want you here!" said one holding an RPG. "They said we are murderers. But they are killing our brothers too. They are stealing our oil. The government is useless. They are just puppets for the US." said one identified as Zhahali. "We will die as matrys!" the rest shouted in chorus. Suddenly everybody scrambled away. About 3 streets away I spotted a US tank rumbled towards us. Oh fuck it is firing at us! For Christ Sake what are they thinking!! I will stop for now... this is Murphy reporting live from Iraq.
