The United Nations' top human rights official said that U.S.-led occupation forces have mistreated many ordinary Iraqis and called for appointment of an international ombudsman to monitor their behavior. Acting High Commissioner for Human Rights Bertrand Ramcharand also suggested in a new report that U.S. soldiers accused of gross abuses in Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison could be guilty of war crimes.We need to tell the UN to STFU and furthermore get out of the US because the US in getting out of the UN.

al-Sadr criticized the new Iraqi government Friday and said he would accept 'nothing less' than an elected leadership, as his militia fighters battled American soldiers.This is why he still is fighting us: because he knows that his life is not threatened.

the bulk of them have "gone down", what you are seeing now are holdouts, or just a band of street thugs who the media is labeling as an "army" as part of their spin to turn every incident into a defeat for the US.
Of course, losing 4 soldiers is a tragedy - but its not disneyland over there.

to be honest, we should spot one of these "photo op" setups from the air, where these photographers have them posing with their weapons - and kill them all from the air, INCLUDING the photographers. If we did that one time - they would stop setting up these photo ops.
To: pickemuphere
you obviously have not been following what has happened to this Sadr "army". The threads are right here on FR. Don't buy the media spin.

The line under Sadr's face reads: Allah, Tell infidels that we don't worship what they worship!

Maybe you could define what you would consider to be a mighty hammer.
