Baghdad is restless again today. We've been hearing firefights all morning and we just heard an explosion in the last hour. We went up a few floors to look and from the smoke, it looks like the explosion was in or near Sadr City.
The terrorists are trying to make a stand against the coalition and Iraqi forces. What they need to figure out is that we are going to take Baghdad back. If they keep resisiting, they're just going to get wasted.
This is actually good in the long run...the scum are being drawn out so that they can face their fate.
