May 13 -- KARBALA, Iraq - Soldiers from Task Force 1st Armored Division cleared a building complex used by Muqtada's Militia during a cordon and search operation that began last night and continued into this morning.
The coalition task force also included Polish and Bulgarian units, a company from the 402nd Iraqi Civil Defense Corps and Iraqi Police Service officers...
About 20 enemy militiamen were killed during the assault. Seven U.S. Soldiers were wounded.
....Today, Soldiers have been destroying the weapons and ammunition found during the operation.
According to published reports, signs of mainstream Shiite resentment of al-Sadr have been rising. Tuesday, about 1,000 people marched through Najaf streets demanding that he and his followers leave the city..

"Holy" shrines???? "Sacred" to their "religion"?
Shrines to a god that condones, encourages, supports, demands the killing of any and all non-believers?
"Holy"???
"Sacred"???
My
A#@... The only shrine these things deserve or will understand is a smokin' hole in the ground.
Way to go, First Cav!

This is what I want to see splattered all over the news. Not pictures of Iraqi prisoners in women's panties.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl
Why did we have seven casualities? When a mosque is used to stage war it is no longer a sacred site and is subject to desruction. Why wasn't it a smart bomb target with several 500 pounders? There would be seven men whole today. That more than pays for our trouble.
To: Russ
Spot-on.
I can't wait for the media to report that we've bombed a prosthetics factory, which was being used to replace the limbs of defenseless Iraqis who've been mutiliated by U.S. missiles.

Now, this is where a scorched earth policy should be enacted.

Tuesday, about 1,000 people marched through Najaf streets demanding that he and his followers leave the city..We need to encorage as much of this as possible. Would be nice if the MEDIA would put it on the air so all of the wanna bees would take note.
To: Final Authority
I agree totally. Smart bomb these mosques.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl
Perhaps we should turn this mosque into a pig farm in retaliation for the killing of Berg

Bump!

ok. fine.
Now that we have so carefully taken and cleared the complex, we should mine it and blow it straight to hell.

Ammunition caches found inside several of the buildings were rigged for demolition. So... set them off! Say it was a work accident to calm the populace.

Tuesday, about 1,000 people marched through Najaf streets demanding that he and his followers leave the city.. This part makes me smile. It took roughly two years of occupation in Germany before citizen's protested the Werewolves. That's progress.
