He won't be tater much longer. He'll be a flat old chip!!! ...An official in the cleric's office, Haidar al-Tourfi, said he received a text message from al-Sadr saying: "Either martyrdom or victory."

#12 Tater had to call time out 'cause he was late for his appointment at the orthodontist, about 25 years late |

#9 It's a Lie! Tater never touched me. He's a creepy dude for sure with funky teeth but as soon as he started coming on to me I split man. You should see his pad, shit piled everywhere! |

#8 Most of the camera angles I have seen have been ones than are trying to make the crowd bigger than it is. FlameBait-Is there any sign of an Iraqi or American Tank taking a shot "accidental-on-purpose" take out the Al-Jazzera camera position. Can't have an "Advantageous to Sadr" camera angle if by getting there you open your self up to a visit to the 72 dark-eyed virgins. |

#7 AFP, talking with the Oregon National Guard in old city, Najaf Are the locals friendly? "It seems," says SFC Compton, who has joined his colleagues in an abandoned house where they are resting up and where they stock provisions. "They seem nice but really I don't know," he adds cautiously. But he is wrong. The few residents who have stayed apparently want just one thing: to see the Americans finish off Sadr's militia as quickly as possible. "The Americans are good with us," says 27-year-old Hassan Mohammad Ibrahim, who has been left alone in his home. "The militia, when they occupied the street, made us suffer. I want them out of here alive or dead." "They ruined us," said Karim Hussein, a 38-year-old mason, who has dropped by his home to pick up a few possessions before leaving again. "It's time they were done with. Let the Americans attack and have done with them once and for all." |

#6 Today, not likely. As I said yesterday, look for the Iraqis to start their offensive Sunday or Monday to take full advantage of the news cycle. The propaganda victory for all coalition parties is to great to let this golden wrapped opportunity pass. Look for one last trick from Mahdi Army similar to what the Chechens wanted to do with the Moscow Theatre. |

#5 Must be crowded in that mosque. With all those "well" trained troops, somebody's gonna have a work accident. |

#4 Again, Im not sure those details will be worked out - I think theres a very high chance it will all fall apart and Iraqi govt forces will enter the shrine, if not Saturday than early next week. That was me, yesterday. Looks like I got the date wrong. |

#3 Meanwhile in Najaf, a mortar barrage slammed into a police station Thursday, killing at least seven policemen and wounding 31 others. Pretty stupid. I guess that's where the term "getting fire up" came from. |

#2 Yes it does. I have see 3 different figures of 1000, 2000, and now 3000 fighters at the Imam Ali Mosque. I am wondering if it's much less than the 1000 figure. Most of the camera angles I have seen have been ones than are trying to make the crowd bigger than it is. |
