Kill Sadr now.

I just wanted to repeat that.

"Mehdi army." That means they think this guy is their Islamic messiah or something.

Translation: he is the servant of evil.

Ice the dude now.

That fat ugly rat bastard Sadr needs to be hunted down and killed now!

If in fact OBL is sending Mehdi abroad into the world? It means he, and his organization, are hitting last gasps. Mehdi equates to OBL's secret, personal "agents".

Mehdi Army militiamen were seen deployed inside and on the rooftop of the governor's office alongside policemen who had been inside the building when it was overtaken.

What kind of policemen are these officers? Chief Wiggum is more trusthworthy than these scrubs.

This sounds fairly urgent. It will most likely be the lead story tomorrow.

Followed, hopefully, by the insurgents' surrender.

Basra government office take-over reported here.

Sadr has announced his admiration for Hamas and has said he is their agent of opposition to US forces in Iraq. He and the pro-Saddam thugs in Falluja are dangerous because the US is trying hard not to inflict unnecessary casualties in Iraq. They have a false impression of US capabilities. They both need about a 24-hour demonstration of unconstrained US power aimed at producing maximum casualties among the Sadr followers and among the citizenry of Falluja. Personally, I think Falluja should be first and the only thing we should be careful to do is use maximum indirect fire to keep down our casualty count. Once they see how quickly we can run up the body count, their manners will improve.

Problem: FOLLOWERS of the radical Iraqi Shiite leader Moqtada Sadr took over the governor's office in the British-controlled port city of Basra today.
Dozens of armed Mehdi Army militiamen stormed the governor's office in the southern city at dawn, raising a green flag on the roof of the building.

Daytime solution: Dispatch Apache to the area and deploy two Hellfires in through the windows.

Nighttime solution: Dispatch AC-130 to the area and deploy all armaments on said building.

Repeat as needed.

There's little doubt the Islamic Lenin of Iraq is making his move cause he thinks we will do nothing to stop him.
