BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military intends to kill or capture rebel Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr who launched an uprising this month with his militiamen clashing with coalition soldiers in several towns and cities.

"The mission of U.S. forces is to kill or capture Moqtada al-Sadr," Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of ground forces in Iraq (news - web sites), said in a video conference from Baghdad with correspondents in the United States.

"The mission of U.S. forces is to kill or capture Moqtada al-Sadr," Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of ground forces in Iraq (news - web sites), said in a video conference from Baghdad with correspondents in the United States.

Better late than never. Today would be a fine day to kill him.

[Wright is right!]

This is news? They said LAST WEEK that they planned to kill or capture him. Is Rooters just now getting around to covering it?

The Fallujah situation is proving darned confusing to keep up with. Thanks for this article.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Capture him, strap his ass to a missile, then launch it to Tehran. Thanks in advance.

I wish everybody would decide one way or the other. I just read that the Iraqi Governing Council was now "negotiating" with him.

Fog of war, I suppose.

"The U.S. military intends to kill or capture rebel Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr"

NO SH*T!! I love when Reuters breaks news like this.. Thanks for the update, we were up in the air as to whether we'd "capture or kill" or dance at the upcoming Muslim prom???

This is either a rote repetition of "stated" policy or a sign that the US has given up on attempting a negotiated settlement. If Sanchez is serious, then its all out war. But if this is just a restatement of policy, which we may or may not enforce, then it is nothing.

Because media spins disinfo and doesn’t want you guys to know what is going on and it pisses me off. But later some info will be release for you guys. That is why I think Jim created this web site, because of media left swings, and constant lies. So, I think Jim decided to put on end to this left nonsense, and let people speak the truth of how America really is – country of truth, dignity, freedom.

I think it would help our cause if it looked like a car bomb

maybe by Syrian insurgents.....

[bored at work]

Headline really says "US to assassinate Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr".

I do believe the Fat Lady has returned from her brief rest and is now preparing for an encore . .

we were up in the air as to whether we'd "capture or kill"

Or opt for kill and capture.

[Hand em their arse]

There we go! I like it that way instead!!

[bogdanPolska12]

Thanks Happy. How are you my friend.

Which headline? This is the exact headline @ Yahoo.

[Capt. Tom]

Or opt for kill and capture.

With these terrorists we can do both, and in that order.

We killed Saddam with an air strike on a restaurant he was having a meeting at. Blew him into pieces. Then we captured him in a spider hole much later.

We killed chemical Ali, twice.

We killed Osama at Tora Bora,blew him to pieces, and now we are trying to capture him in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

This is a strange war. - Tom
