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."

Encircle them and kill them all.

[jveritas]

Excellent news.

Why didn't our guys close the back door before moving in the front door ?

Destroy them all save one. Let him tell and Terrify the others.

The one survivor should be maimed just a little as an object lesson. ;)

If you use the incident as a reason to relax the ROE on the existing ops, even in-so-far as issuing bacon strips for corpse decoration, power percieved is power achieved.

Hey, Coop, looks like jonascord has an idea for how they can use the Vienna sausages you sent them.

That's not the Angel of Death over the plane. That's Archangel Michael come to do battle with us against the minions of Satan.

Chase them into Syria, but don't destroy them yet.

The moment they cross the border, invade Syria and destroy the regime.

[conservativewasp]

No way this is happening, Iraq is a quagmire, Kerry, Murtha, Kennedy and Pelosi said so.

[Soul Seeker]

Cool.

If so, aim and fire at them on the dusty road to Syria.

[patriciaruth]

why aren't we cutting them off at the pass?

We are already at the pass waiting for them.

;-)

[Coop]

Moi?!? [innocent look]

[patriciaruth]

Why didn't our guys close the back door before moving in the front door ?

They did.

[Mo1]

Hmmm .. Aren't Kerry & Levin submitting Bills this week to help the terrorists?

"I prefer the c-130...I want them to look up and see the wrath of the US Military.....bombing them is too quick...."

Yeah but my way is not jsut fo rthe terrorists underneath the cloud, but for every other terrorist supporting country in the area as a warning.

[patriciaruth]

The moment they cross the border, invade Syria and destroy the regime.

The new government of Iraq issued a warning to Syria a couple weeks ago that they would be doing hot pursuit into Syrian territory of any terrorists fleeing there.

[Pop Fly]

The terrorists are definitely on the run right now. The debate and vote in Congress showed that Boehner, Blunt and our leadership recognizes the wisdom of staying loyal and strong in this fight and not cutting and running.

[RetiredSWO]

....will this do?

Nope, that's just a C-130 popping flares.

Try this instead
