#4 short version

The good news- US troops are fighting bravely and effectively in Ramadi, and killing lots of insurgents.

The Bad news - despite op after op, for 3 years, there are still plenty of insurgent in Ramadi to fight. Ramadi is still war zone.

The not so bad - well Ramadi is a war zone cause Ramadi is the worst place in Anbar. This is the last place in Anbar that this bad, so weve made progress since a year ago.

The good news - there are Iraqi forces participating as well

The bad news - we obviously arent ready to hand Ramadi over to the Iraqi forces.

Turning the corner - I hope so.

#6 If this doesnt work then er just need to "Fallujah" Ramadi.

And if that doesnt work, line up the artillery hub-to-hub and walk it across town, followed by D9s. Give the town a "Fresh Start".
