	Americans, Iraqis push into Ramadi - USATODAY.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		RAMADI, Iraq (AP) — The U.S. military fired on suspected militants from an AC-130 gunship above the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi on Monday while hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi troops punched into an eastern section of the violent city.
		Commanders said the move Sunday wasn't the precursor to a rumored offensive to drive insurgents from Ramadi — but rather an "isolation" tactic to prevent the fighters from receiving arms and reinforcements.
		American forces already controlled other routes into the city, and the construction of the two outposts on the south side suggests U.S. and Iraqi commanders are taking a gradual approach to what some call the capital of the insurgency.
