Firefight in Ramadi
Michael Fumento describes a firefight in Ramadi. It's good to know there are still some reporters like Fumento operating outside the Green Zone.

As soon as everybody was out of the houses the bad guys hit us big time. Machine gun and rifle fire seemed to come from every direction. In part, perhaps, this was because of sound reverberations off the walls and possibly it was because it was coming from every direction. Americans tossed several smoke canisters to conceal us as we crossed the first wide street, but since the Mooj tend to fire wildly anyway I'm not sure how much it helped. All they do is point their weapons in our general direction and squeeze off as many rounds as they can. But a haphazardly-fired bullet when it hits you has the same impact as an expertly aimed one.

I've heard that. The "mooj" just fire wildly and don't care who they hit - if they hit anything at all.

Too bad JD wasn't still there to show our soldiers how it's done, even at the risk of horrendous bodily injury, such as breaking a nail.
