BAGHDAD / NINA / The US Senator John McCain saw dismissing the importance of the strategy of Ramadi is a denial of the reality and an insult to the families of hundreds of American soldiers who were killed as they liberate Ramadi from al-Qaeda. McCain said in a statement that the US Department of Defense / Pentagon / is in a state of "denial" to what is going on in the city of Ramadi , which is the capital of Anbar province, at a time they focus on the Baiji oil refinery. " McCain described the current US strategy, to defend the Baiji refinery and abandon the capital of Anbar province to fall in the hands of Daash, a mistake. The city of Ramadi / Anbar province / is witnessing violent clashes between security forces and members of the tribes on one hand and elements of Daash on the other hand, to control the city as a security source announced the arrival of more than two thousand fighters from the popular defense forces and three battalions of the Federal Police to Ramadi to support security forces and the clans. / End
