#1 A good ol' fashioned sack party with Sadr-masochist and Sistani several months ago could have precluded some of this now.

Perhaps inevitably and for the best, these are what the death twitches look like, in the last throws of ~~Iran's~~ the bid for a Shi't Islamist Mullacracy EUtopia in Iraq, on the second battlefield in the WoT.

#2 This is serious. This will test our resolve in the WOT. This guy has a lot of followers. It remains to be seen how hard we come down on this guy and his followers. It is a very delicate situation indeed. Rivera is on FOX now. He is VERY CONCERNED. Take that for what it is worth. Bush really has his hands full right now.
This can go either way. I think the best we can hope for is containment.
If the new Iraqi army was up to it that would help immeasurably.

#3 "Arrest order"??

If someone needs Sadr to be offed, fine, call in the Marine sharpshooters. Otherwise, have Iraqi policemen execute the capture then, as U.S. soldiers are not cops, and should not be called upon to perform police actions.
