[maddezmom]

DUBAI (Reuters) - The chief negotiator in the rebel-held Iraqi town of Falluja said on Monday the government had canceled talks to avert a military assault on the town.



"I was told that the negotiations have been canceled," Sheikh Khaled al-Jumaili told Arab satellite television Al Jazeera. "I was told that by Defense Minister Hazim al-Shalaan."

The interim government said on Saturday it had resumed talks to pacify Falluja, which has faced heavy U.S. bombardment in what the U.S. military says is a bid to crush insurgents and kill or capture al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his followers.

I think the tactic is this. Attack Falluja and inflame the conflict before the election in the hope that it will bring out the warmongering faithful.

2. This could be the MOAB from Bush, in fact what happens next will be...

...genocide
