And MSNBC has a headline that says U.S. Issues Warrant for Sadr's Arrest.

Screw the warrant, he's a combatant, I'm hoping that he decides to become a martyr and throw himself at one of our tanks or something. Having this guy in jail would put too many people at risk from his followers.

The AC-130 has the big 105mm cannon for busting buildings and armor, and 40mm and 30mm guns for vehicles and troop concentrations.

I just pray that none of our compounds are overrun, or any of our troops captured. I hope we didn't spread our forces too thin.

Thanks, PD.

And af, the point is that an Iraqi judge, not the US, made the decision to issue the warrant. The distinction is important. Which is why I don't think MSNBC screwed it up accidentally.
