I think Harrigon said we know exactly where the thugs are, who they are, what they've got ito weapons, and we're concentrating our fire on three "houses." Called it a major operation.

Sadar's thugs are going to be deeply saddened when they find out the virgins they promised are not waiting for them on the other side.

They're there; they are just Gorelick, Albright and Reno.

Just caught the FoxNews Gong Alert! Did Steve Harrigan say alSadr (sic) is in Najaf (hiding behind the mosques!) & his followers were in Karballa?

He didn't say the name of the town.

I was relieved to hear that 95% of the Iraqis
in this one city, WANT our guys to get rid of
the folks they're blowing up now.

Said the thugs were running a racket.
Money for protection etc.

I did catch that it is the 1st armored division. My friend's son is with that division but hopefully he is not there. He is usually in Bagdad. He was supposed to have come home in April but tour was extended 90 days.

I thought he said that they don't believe Sadr is there. But that could just be the story we're getting.

Nobody is covering it right now. Been checking-- Chrissy has an anti military military analyst and Anderson Cooper was talking about some rape case. Important stuff donchaknow.

It sounds like al-Sadr's militia bit off too big a chew.

I wonder if it is related to the 400 to 600 who came out to sign up with the "new general"?

"Puff AC-130 gunship overhead as well as attack helies."

'Puff's' are the old ones, the new ones today are named Spectre's.
