Jesus. A headline that full of propagadna speak should have people fired and butts in streets.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Just out of curiosity - are there any non-Holy cities anywhere in the entire middle east?

U.S. helicopter gunships and fighter jets pounded Shiite Muslim insurgents hiding in a sprawling cemetery

In a cemetery, one step closer to the afterlife. No long funeral procession required.

Nab'em, grab'em, stab'em, pound'em, stomp'em... catch the pigeon, catch the pigeon....

um... been watching too many cartoons I guess.... shut up Mutly

[Henchman]

Why are we calling it a "Holy" City? Why do they still have a "Holy" City - it should just be a HOLE!

Heavy U.S. air strikes batter Iraqi holy city

Why is it a holy city when we strike it but not a holy city when they shoot from it?

[EGPWS]

U.S. helicopter gunships and fighter jets pounded stifled the agression of Shiite Muslim insurgents power wielding terrorists hiding in a sprawling cemetery yesterday in the most intense fighting in this holy city since the fall of Saddam Hussein because the terrorists miss his unwhelding power. The U.S. military said 300 militants were killed in the past two days.

Yep, it's all Dubyas fault.

Ok, so why have the Iranians decided to use their boy in Iraq again now?

[AmericanVictory]

Since the leading Shia senior cleric refuses to back Al Sadr, and since one of the powerful local sheiks has even sent out his own men to take hostages away from Sadr's men, it is safe to say that this "danger" of a Shia uprising is wishful thinking by AP reporters who are desperate for the U.S. to lose.

[Nick Danger]

It's OK. We used holy bombs.

[Askel5]

=== The heavy battles came as the most powerful Shiite cleric in Iraq, Grand Ayatollah Ali Husseini al-Sistani, arrived in Britain to receive medical treatment for what an aide called ``a health crisis'' involving his heart.


Uh-huh.


Well ... I guess all this puts into better perspective George H. Bush's encouraging the Shi'ite's to revolt against Saddam only to hang them out to dry on the line.

[applemac_g4]

Is there anything besides Iraqi cities that the liberal media finds "holy"?

[Billthedrill]

What I hear is that these boys were mostly from out of town. Somebody a little east of there figured Sadr could step out with a little imported muscle. The Iranians are fools, and a lot of them are now dead fools.

[The Duke]

U.S. helicopter gunships and fighter jets pounded Shiite Muslim insurgents hiding in a sprawling cemetery...

I guess Abdul is *really* going to be rolling over in his grave over this one! :)

This is Jerusalem, a holy city.
This is Najaf, a holey city.

Heavy U.S. air strikes batter Iraqi holy city

I long to read a headline more like this :

Heavy U.S. air strikes FLATTEN Iraqi holy city

Muslim insurgents hiding in a sprawling cemetery

They really displayed alot of courage attacking and hiding out on Holy ground.
We need to knock these jokers out. We have too many feel good generals trying to play nice.
