IRAQ: Armed foreign gangs fleeing, reports (terrorists in Ramadi on the run)
AKI ^ | 2006 Jun 20

Posted on 06/20/2006 8:44:47 AM PDT by Wiz

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."

They can run, but they can't hide from the C-130 Spectre gunship. Cool video.

This is why all the Democrats want to cut and run. They're afraid that their allies the terrorists are losing.

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist. We should be killing more terrorists, faster.

Can't let the insurgents get a bad name.

Yeah, it does look like the Eagle, but I think it looks like an Angel of Death. It's quite appropriate for the rats leaving their sinking terrorist ship.

IIRC, Kerry got a silver star for bravely chasing a wounded vc and shooting him. What is Murtha complaining about?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

According to the Swift Boat Vets,it was a 12 year old VC kid running away. Kerry shot him in the back.Is that the basis of your sarcasm? Just curious.

"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?"

Just ask them if they've ever heard the tune "Puff the Magic Dragon," later known as "Spooky." Our C-47 gunships, now appearing as C-130's. Lethal things.

Get the Congress off the backs of the Military and let the Military do the job they have trained for.

I hope they lose their arms and legs in a bombing attack and end up hospitalized for the rest of their lives under the care of nuns who are mean.
