It's Groundhog Day in Iraq, I guess. Either that or the news channels are showing reruns. REUTERS:

U.S. and Iraqi troops have launched a large-scale operation around the rebellious city of Ramadi, as part of a nationwide effort to restore order in the wake of last month's election.

... The move comes less than three months after a major Marines offensive against the former rebel stronghold of Falluja, just east of Ramadi, which the U.S. military took back from insurgents after three weeks of furious fighting.... [*]

At which point all the insurgents slipped out and went to Ramadi. Or maybe the metaphor is "Whack-a-mole."
