Gritty?

"On Sunday, Marines and Army units were still battling gritty bands of defenders scattered in buildings and bunkers across the Sunni Muslim stronghold." - AP.

Fallujah terrorists are "gritty"? Well, maybe they are after they're pulverized by large bombs. Probably something like this.

This is just another example of the mainstream media turning Fallujah into a sort of Tet Offensive. A success by any military measure which was spun in the media to be a defeat.
