Great news. I've noticed consistent progress in decimating this enemy, their original strength was estimated between 1-2,000. Has anyone been keeping a count of how many killed so far in the last 6 weeks?

It seems that the numbers have been escalating in some type of progression - maybe deliberate. Weeks ago it was 5 or 6 Sadr guys flat, then it was 30 or so, I remember a 61 Sadr guy flat day, now 100!

I imagine it kinds of depends on how long we want to stay in contact and carry on the fire-fight. I have read that these guys are not very disciplined fighters - that a fire fight with them is a bit of a shooting gallery for our guys.

Hopefully, some of these Sadr guys will be getting a bit discouraged and leave the way open to get Sadr himself and bundle him off to abu Graib.

The local population is evidently fed up with him. I think they would applaud his capture.

We have been knocking them out to the tune of 20 to 30 a day for almost a month.
