| Fighting flares on Najaf streets after radical Shiite cleric Sadr's militia confirmed still in control of Imam Ali Mosque Najef. Several hours of confusion sparked by Iraqi PM Allawi's unsupported claim that Iraqi police had entered mosque and arrested 400 Mehdi Army militiamen. Standoff between rebels and US-Iraqi forces remains unresolved after two weeks of fighting. Iraqi health ministry reports 77 killed, 70 wounded in last 24 hours fighting in Najef. |

| #8 I'm not seeing much in the way of action reports - so this is prolly some Dumb Boyz who tried to glorify themselves and got snuffed or hauled ass - though it didn't look this good, I'm certain. (SNSFW) |

| #7 Just don't hurt the property. Blow shit out of the perps, no problem, just watch the carpets and keep your hands off the windows. BTW, is the "fighting flares on" have to do with the break out? |

| #5 "Fighting flares on Najaf streets" That's a pretty tall order. Once those babies go off, well, there's just no stopping 'em. You can even dunk 'em in water - and the damned things aty lit. Guess they can hold their breath or sumthin. Flares - why do they hate us? |

| #3 Actually, it's pretty impressive when you consider it. They even knew how many (400) Tater Tots they didn't actually arrest. Boggles, no? Arab Think - It's not just any old state of mind. |

| #2 honesty and truth telling are not virtues in the realm of islam. i know it's cultural. i'm starting to wonder: could it also be genetic? |

| #1 Article: Several hours of confusion sparked by Iraqi PM Allawi’s unsupported claim that Iraqi police had entered mosque and arrested 400 Mehdi Army militiamen. What is it with Arabs and boasts about things that haven't actually occurred? First, it was Comical Ali and his claim that US forces weren't in Baghdad. Now it's Allawi and his claim of having captured the mosque. These guys are pathetic - all of them. |
