| Heavy US assault on Ramadi |
| 2004-09-22 |
| The US occupation troups carried out a massive offensive against the city of Ramadi yesterday, with air strikes and incessant fire from Abram tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and armored Humvees, as soldiers carried out house-to-house searches for insurgents and weapons. The commander of the unit in charge of the operation declared that "we moved in to try to get the city back under control, re-establish a presence and provide the protection to keep the government firmly in control." |

| #4 I doubt this is the "big" assault on Ramadi we're all waiting for - sounds more like a heavy raid, to supplement air raids. Fighting reported in Sadr City, and in Samarra. Further clean-up in former no-go areas that have been retaken. Saw a report the other day, saying Ramadi more important to elections than Fallujah, since Ramadi is a provincial capital (as is Baqubah, but NOT Sammarra). Expect assault on Ramadi BEFORE assault on Fallujah. Also keeps to strategy of concentrating baddies in Fallujah. |
