American forces losing control in Iraq

[gekko]

Stop looking to the damn news media to see how well this war is being fought. For one, it's the NY Times, who tried to make it seem like we were losing the war and all going to get slughtered entering Baghdad. But more importantly, they don't have any clue what's going on.

The news gets to a big city and makes it seem like that's the only place getting hit, which is why Fallujah made the news, but Ramadi has generally been worse than Fallujah, it just never made the news.

Ramadi is not getting any worse. The only reason we don't have control is that city is because of the gay-ass ROEs that are being put on us, by none other than politicians and anti-war activists. Trust me, ther's enough firepower in Ramadi to level the entire city in minutes, but we're not allowed to use it.

We're only losing control because we're not allowed to fight.
