Sadly, House Party 4 was the last in this series of cinematic masterpieces.

The Marines were up early, bracing themselves against the cold-desert wind off the Euphrates River and waiting for the all go from headquarters. The sun was just breaking the horizon and painting the sky a splotchy pink and blue while word was passed that the mission would go off as planned. The first team of Combined Anti-Armor Team White, along with Company Ls 2nd Mobile Platoon exited the heavily fortified gates of Hurricane Point and began their part in Operation Block Party 6.

objective: a neighborhood in central Ar Ramadi near a common improvised explosive device drop point.
The idea behind the cordon and search mission was to conduct a thorough and highly detailed search of an area thought to house either insurgents or their weapons caches, said 1st Lt. Tim Burke, platoon commander of CAAT White, Weapons Company
it was a great chance to interact positively with some of the local population.
the Marines were able to, in a small way, prove that we are here to help rebuild and repair the capitol city of the Al Anbar Province
= It should be a giant hole in the ground that used to be a neighborhood in central Ar Ramadi near a common improvised explosive device drop point.
Marines shouldn't be there to rebuild and repair, they should be there to destroy and kill. Let the Iraqis rebuild and repair and learn a lesson. Allow your neighborhood to be used as a drop off point for IEDs and you become homeless and your neighborhood becomes a hole.
Ramadi has been supporting the enemy for too long.
