#2 i think thats what the "bad consequences" may involve.

clashes with Mahdi army also reported in Sadr City, Amara, and Basra.

Good news - Iraqi forces are fighting this time, at least in Najaf. In Sadr city only US troops reported fighting Mahdi army, and in Basra Brits.

#3 The Najaf fighting, the fiercest in weeks, threatens a fragile cease-fire between the Mahdi Army and Iraqi and U.S. authorities.

Are we back to the Fallujah definition of "cease-fire"?

I find it surprising when "fierce fighting" only *threatens* a cease-fire ... I would think that would *end* a cease-fire ...

#6 "W" wants to do something about this quagmire, but he also wants to be re-elected; thus the 'hand tied' approach. We all will have to wait until the elections, when the American people will bring clarity to these issues. Until then, the Pentagon's actions are considered "expendable" in the field!

#8 Too bad we can't rig a drone controlled helo to do a flyover, take a hit, and then dive into one of their shrines. It would be a nice cause and effect lesson for the Shi'ites and place the blame squarely on Sadr. This maggot has been depleting the world's oxygen supply for waaaaay too long.
