#3 Yep - had live video on FoxNews - it was loud, but you couldn't see much of anything. They're showing Sadr's house now, in fact. Now dusk has arrived.

Bret Baeir is reporting that they believe that Sadr is in the Shrine. He says they're about to show video of the asshats firing out of the shrine...

It was 140 deg F today and there seem to be some debate about whether forces will hold position around the shrine - and the US Military owns the night - or pull back and get some R&R - then come back again later.

Now they're saying that this is not the actual "final push" - sigh. I give up - more as it develops.

#5 There was a clarification just a moment ago from a Marine spokesman on FoxNews. He said that across the street from Sadr's house is a hospital and some clinic bldgs and that 30-45 asshats were firing mortars and such from there - that was why the area was cleared - Sadr's house was just a bonus. They bad guys are "gone" - no clarification of "gone" was given.

140 deg F there in Najaf today... I remember such days all too well. Don't miss 'em.

#6 And they said we could not and would not operate in the heat because we were not as adapted to it as the Arabs are.

Another Arab Superiority myth dispelled - they forgot that the US military, and especially the Marines, IMPROVISE ADAPT and OVERCOME.

We attack anywhere and any time we choose because out troops and their leaders are just that damn good.
