And stupid.
May 27, 2004 -- NAJAF, Iraq — U.S. troops scored a major success against Shiite gunmen yesterday, arresting a key lieutenant of radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in clashes that killed 24 people and wounded nearly 50.
Iraq's national security adviser said Sadr had offered to remove his fighters from Najaf — except for those who live there. Sadr wanted U.S. and other coalition troops to "return to base," allowing Iraqi police to regain control of the city.
Sadr said he is making this offer because of "the tragic condition" in Najaf after weeks of fighting. The busted aide, Sayed Ryad al-Nuri, was turned over to Iraqis for a murder prosecution. AP
