Two Iraqis also died in the fighting, said Col. John Gronski, commander of the U.S. Army's 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 28th Infantry Division. No Americans were killed.
Gronski said Iraqi forces "are doing very well" in the battle against insurgents in the volatile Anbar province city.
"The Iraqi army is conducting aggressive operations here based on human intelligence from the people of Ramadi themselves," he said.
Gronski said the Iraqi soldiers' improved capability has bolstered the morale of U.S. troops working with them.
U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi forces are trying to shut down insurgent supply routes into the area, setting up checkpoints and sometimes closing streets, he said.

50 to one kill ratio is pretty good. Infinity to one is even better though.
Bad day to be a terrorist rebel in Iraq.

The groups are realizing that Americans are not their true enemy, the source said, and that they have been "fighting the wrong enemy." Well, that just about says it all...

Zarqawi's almost endless money has kept much of the insurgency from realizing that for a long time.

The regular CNN content editors must be off today for 'no-gringo' day. I can't believe they let the following go through:
"The groups are realizing that Americans are not their true enemy, the source said, and that they have been "fighting the wrong enemy."
"[These groups] are coming to the realization that one day the Americans will leave -- and that the most important thing is an Iraq that is free from Iranian influence," the source added."

Good news from Iraq? US troop morale being boosted by a more effective Iraqi security force? Can't have that. Time for a Clinton to fake an injury.

"The Iraqi army is conducting aggressive operations here based on human intelligence from the people of Ramadi themselves," he said.I'm thinking their ROE are not the same as ours.
