Just monitored on Sky News: embedded reporter says Shiites in Basra have begun, in his words, a "popular uprising" against the Saddam forces still in the city. British Army units are "pouring" artillery into the city (likely isolated areas) preparing to move in.

Definitely Good Shiite is now happening in Bashra as you posted:
Yes, good Shiite like a blood Baath in Basrah! One of the Baath party officials was captured by the U.K.!
I'm sure the UK SAS guys told him to start talking and identifying his fellow killer thugs or Good Shiite would happen to him as he would be turned over to the Shiites.

Saw on another forum some idiot touting his ignorance when confronted with its shortcomings: "I don't have to know anything other than war is wrong." Thus the knowledge of your typical antiwar protestor.

This is very good news, The end is near for Saddam While I agree this is encouraging, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Baghdad awaits.

We need to stand back and let the Iraqis wipe out the Baathist thugs and gangsters. We will do nobody a favor by going soft on them, they will be a viper under our shirt as long as they live. Let the Iraqis finish them off, many thousands need the Mussolini end treatment. Agreed. That may encourage some of the thugs not in Basra to get the hell out of wherever they are, and it could start a bit of a domino effect in southern Iraq.

I was wondering how the War Slut was taking the news. Probably badlyI understand she was giddy last night while relaying some kind of a phony report of an Iraqi mehanized and armored counter attack at Basra.

i demand full and immediate accountability and whatever remains is not dust when we are talking about death we are talking about irrevocability, no? or does DNA give us all the answers?

Now! Now! Paula take your Valium, Xanax and Ativan. Then you will feel better. Just dream that your bubba Clintoon is still in charge, and you will feel better.

I hope we find out 20 to 30 years from now during a National Geographic Special "The Hunt For Saddam's EXTRA-Secret Bunker" that he and a select few of his inner circle got to slowly starve to death or be slowly asphyxiated during their last days in a blockaded, but undiscovered bunker. I can just see it... hosted by a silver-haired Geraldo Rivera. There'll be more than a few empty whiskey bottles in there, I'm sure.

Looks like the Shiites are about to give the Ba'ath Party an enema.
To: Coop
Basra is Iraq's second largest city. The propaganda value of control, with grateful residents, is enormous.
