1pm EST: US medical evacs to Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre (where wampum has regular readers) now are over 400 for the week, with almost all originating from the Falluja battle. The Red Cresent humanitarian convoy (five tractor-trailers, 30 volunteers, 3 doctors) have gotten as far as Falljua Hospital, isolated on the west bank of the Euphrates. The US Command continues to prevent any medical supplies going into Falluja, or any evacuation of wounded, other than US soldiers or Allawi millitiamen. There is no mention of systematic medical treatment for captured wounded defenders.
Overnight: The Netherlands announces that it will withdraw its 1,300 troops in March.
