U.S. and Iraqi forces had cordoned off the city Saturday and were asking civilians to evacuate, residents and Iraqi officials said. Airstrikes on several residential areas picked up, and troops took to the streets with loudspeakers to warn civilians of a fierce impending attack, Ramadi police Capt. Tahseen Aldulaimi said. U.S. military officials refused to confirm or deny reports that a Ramadi offensive was under way.
Once again, they’re turning an entire city into refugees, fleeing the air attacks, in the name of “democracy.” Looks to me like this is the real reason Bush is having a big “strategy meeting” at Camp David; if it’s not the reason, and he was unaware of what was happening in Ramadi, then we are in a world of shit.
