#1 I think Salam Pax reports this in the comments from On the Third Hand

actually it is very scary that with all the de-ba'athification efforts these people were asked back to their office by the coalition forces.this whole thing is spiraling down towards a very bad situation. an hour ago G. sent me a message saying that at 5pm (baghdad time) in Adhamiya district american forces were attacked and one tank burned.
i sure hope that the urban warefare chapter is not about to be opened. i heard someone today talking about something called "phase three" as in they have gone back to phase three. i hope that is not a disastoursly bad thing.

#3 Surround the mosques with tanks and stay there. Arrest anyone caught trying to enter a mosque with guns.

#4 Give the mosques three days to set-up their own entry security. After that, ram the tank through any door entered by attackers with guns.
