Paying Twice for the Same Real Estate.

That is what is going on in Fallujah. Back in April when our soldiers were fighting for Fallujah they were making progress and then a halt was called for and our forces withdrew. I wrote our congressman back then this was a very bad idea and how we were going to pay for it. That is what we see happening right now. Our forces are having to pay again for real estate dearly gained in April.

I can not lay claim to the "paying twice for the same real estate" it comes from the movie Patton and while I have not seen any record of Patton actually saying that it summarizes his battle philosophy.
