If you read the fine print, it looks like it was a complete flop. I imagine the word leaked out from the Iraq police and all bad guys left early.
I just don't see our joint raids going too well.

They go a lot better than the media would have you believe.

The whole raid only captured 40 people, 10 already released. No bombs, no fighting, just collection. That to me sounds like everybody knew before it happen.

The fact that this air assualt was a bust was hardly a surprise. Big sweeps rarely work in counter insurgency.
