The real Ramadi

Are we winning or losing the war in Ramadi in Iraq’s al Anbar? With the defeatist MSM reporting from the Green Zone, it’s hard to tell. Depends on who you read. Blogger Michael Fumento, who has been there three times, says we’re winning. So does the Times of London which also sent a reporter there. Saying we’re losing (surprise, surprise) is the Washington Post’s reporter Thomas Ricks, author of "Fiasco," which ought to show you what he thinks before he sets fingers to keyboard. Especially since, according to Fumento, Ricks has never set foot in Ramadi. Now, lo and behold, the WaPo is contradicting Ricks with a new, upbeat piece. Curiouser and curiouser.

Progress in Ramadi

From Multi-National Force-Iraq.

"Once the area of operations is officially transferred to 2-1-7 IA, they will be the third and final battalion in the 1st Brigade, 7th IA to own an area of operation in Ramadi."
