Thanks for the thread, mikegi.

Steve Harrigan: Live, Karbala - FoxNews:
 
"Support in the town is against the Sadr Militia...
 
Basically these Bradleys formed a perimeter around the town...
 
 Special Forces entered (at least) 3 - buildings - one of these building is a mosque - it is a local mosque - not one of the two (Holy Shiite shrines)...
 
US forces on the ground are actually risking their lives (to take out the enemy without hurting the shrines).
 
Guys from the 1st Armored Division - putting their lives on the line - were supposed to be home already - to crush a group of thugs who have been holding (this city hostage for the past few months)."
 

Steve also said thinks 2 J-DAMS were dropped, no confirmation.

Loud explosions in the background, Soldiers giving instructions to friends, where names of their loved ones are located in case they don't make it out, alternative route given to Steve Harrigan's driver.

Could be climactic battle of the last few months, and FoxNews cuts to the Kobe Bryant trial.

You mean, FoxNews cuts to footage of Kobe walking into court, hearing the charges, and saying "Not Guilty," and then leaving. It's truly fascinating stuff.

Harrigan back on again. Bradleys driving through buildings followed by soldiers and Special Forces. House to house fighting.

It is vital to the nation that we ensure Kobe has once again successfully exited his SUV.

Not one of those friggin' "holy shrines" is worth a single bruised shin on one of our guys!

They should level the *damned" places and be done with it.
Anyone complains, shoot him!
