Did the media fall for another hoax?
On Sunday, the Associated Press reported that the moojies launched "their strongest attack in six weeks" against the government center in Ramadi, the seat of the Al Anbar Province.
But Bill Roggio notes that the incident didn't make a blip on the CENTCOM press releases, and an AP photographer working in Ramadi didn't mention the fight on his blog.
So Bill did some digging, and it turns out that "the strongest attack in six weeks" turned out to be hardly noticable."A little busier than usual, but just another day for us," says the Brigade PAO.
