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."

Good job Airborne! Hope `arc-light', gunships chase them all the way to Damascus.

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?
Ahh, because they're fleeing in civilian vehicles? And from the air, we can't tell the car with terrorists from the Mom with her elderly parents and her baby. Just a guess.

Note to Murtha and like-minded persons: "fleeing" does NOT equate surrendering. While fleeing they are STILL enemy and can be shot, bombed or otherwise stopped.

Obviously you're not up to date on the brilliant al-Murtha plan for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory..... when we have the enemy on the ropes, that's the perfect time to withdraw to Okinawa and declare to the world that the terrorists have won. /sarcasm

Good news - Now bring in the air assets and decimate them -First thing that popped into my mind. Nice of them to identify themselves.
Valley of Death II. An endeavor worth considering. These terrorist killers are not retiring; they are simply regrouping.

" "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." Thankfully, Al Qaeda seems to have a plentiful supply of dumbasses. They aren't satisifed with having the U.S. troops mad at them, they want EVERYONE mad at them. They need to rename Al Qaeda and call it Al Deathwish.

Why waste bombs on them when bullets are cheaper?
They will still be good and dead.
Run run little cowards. Your leaders were wrong. You cannot defeat the forces of good. There are no virgins waiting. Just the fires of hell. good riddence!

Someone please tell me that there's an "anvil" to this "hammer". I'd hate to see these animals merely melt away into the population or over the border.

Okay, I am a military idiot but do we have a blocking force somewhere in the mountains waiting for these morons. If so I hope it's not like Tora Bora where Franks decided to let the Pakistani border guards take the bad guys into custody. That worked out so well and all!
