The title is misleading. This is Mookie’s Monkeys, not the generic “Shi’ite Fighters”
Oh it’s Reuters. Never mind.

Wrong war... sorry....

Hello brass hat...
This is A-UAV crew 26-4B....
That's right sir...
We have two targets in Nassiriyah...
On-board sensors observe Target #1:
A large group of hostiles in the open--
Appears to be militants massing for in-street combat right after sunrise.....
Target #2 is a smaller group observed in a safe house...
Yes sir... appears to be hostile lead-team briefing...
Honcho IS with them -- intel confidence is very high....,br> They are also armed with AK's, RPG's, and a couple of sniper rifles...
We can take the troop mass with no help... one shot
Our eyes on the surface have verified the high value targets in the structure.... they have lased the window sill of the meeting room -- we have a good bead...
Permission to engage both targets?
Roger that, sir....
Other overhead assets will engage Target #1 -
Hostiles in the open....
The old "Spooky" drivers would love this...
Permission granted to rain on Target #2":
Copy that sir...
Confirmation order Y-C-K-1-A 8...
Hellfire away....
Redundant tracking on the structure...
22 seconds until impact...

Say goodnight, Mookie...

Not good.
Read an analysis last night (okay it was CNN online but it was pretty good). this situation is precarious...and evidently, Mookie has enough followers to make a lot of trouble. Iran is backing him but also has him on a short leash as they do not want him to get too far off the reservation.
“Fighters loyal to Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr have seized the centre of the southern Nassiriya city, a Reuters witness said on Friday.”
Two thoughts... the witness is named mookie jr. and if the terrorists, according to rooters, have seized the “center” of the city... that probably means the good guys have them surrounded on all sides and are squeezing them slowly. One must search for the truth in statements from liars.

I give no credence to any Reuters report, especially one concerning the Middle East. Too much Saudi influence.
aka - “Target Rich Environment”
not good, if true. Maliki may end up having to call us in after all. He’s been utilizing our air support, but if the police won’t leave their stations, our boys on the ground may be called in
you hearing anything about Nassiriya or Shatra, or is Reuters full of it??
I'm sure everything will be fine. They're all brothers in Islam < / extreme sarcasm off >
