First sentence: Last November in Iraq, I traveled to Fallujah during the early days of what would become known as the "Ramadan Offensive"-when suicide bombers in the space of less than an hour destroyed the Red Cross headquarters and four police stations, and daily attacks by insurgents against U.S. troops doubled, and the American adventure in Iraq entered a bleak tunnel from which it has yet to emerge.
