Baghdad, 20 June (AKI) - Sources in Ramadi in the restive al-Anbar province report that large groups of armed foreign militants are fleeing towards the Syrian border, as US and Iraqi forces tighten their siege on the city. Ramadi, some 100 kilometres west of Baghdad, is a stronghold of the insurgency and there are reports of many residents also fleeing in fear of an assault. Sources told Adnkronos International (AKI) that local tribes were also pursuing foreign terrorists "because of the immense damage they have done to infrastructure and the bad name they have given the insurgency by terror attacks against innocent civilians."
The sources added that "the armed men are heading towards the highlands near the Euphrates in an effort to find a secure refuge," emphasising that "the murder of the head of the Karabila tribe, Osama al-Jadaan, in al-Mansour last month, by al-Qaeda operators, triggered a vendetta by his relatives and followers."

Here's my thing about that: If we know they're fleeing, why not attack them with helicopters and UAVs? I mean, we're going to let them slip away?

The folks in Fallujah didn't believe us when we said we were going to pound the city into the ground and then sweep the terrorists out house by house, but I guess they are all believers now.

By the way, where are the B-52s? Why are we allowing large groups of foreign fighters to flee? Why are they not being churned up into chum by our air assets?

All these poor people, having to relocate out of fear for their lives... If we had just left Iraq in November, these brave freedom fighters wouldn't be subjected to this harassment.

LOL, Mike. Dog-FYI. Looks like the real insurgents don't like the attention the foreign fighters are bringing into town...

Yup, Murtha is right. Sounds like it's time for us to retreat to Okinawa.
