civili civilian. the u.s. airborne division when they would go into the cities, fighters used to smuggle themselves out as part of the humanitarian kcorridors in the wave of refugees. all the while setting up shop elsewhere in iraq. so we're in for the long haul here. i don't want to underestimate the difficulty of retaking a city like ramadi. this is one of the strategic hubs. it's just the beginning. it's really about when you're holding the city and what kind of retaliatory attacks will take place against the population. >> then to switch the focus over to mosul, which is the key prize they would like to retake and that's a long way out. >> roit hear-- reuters had a gr report. they have covered up some of the crimes conducted by these units because it's embarrassing to washington's efforts. so i hope our side is telling the truth.
