It seems to me that the U.S. should ask that all women and children be released and then just starve them out. OOps, that wouldn't work. This pig wants to surround himself with women and children like all other terrorist coward scum.

U.S. soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment of the First Infantry Division talk with a supporter of Moqtada al-Sadr as they patrol the highway near Kufa, April 16, 2004. Shi'ite guerrillas clashed with U.S. troops near Kufa on Friday as their leader, rebel cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, defied demands that he disband his militia to spare Iraq's shrine cities from bloodshed.

This article said something about humvees on fire. Is everyone from our side okay??

I noticed that and I looked for other news, but there isn't anything yet. There is a near news blackout around Najaf - they keep showing file footage rather than current stuff. It will be a while before we get the full story.
