| #5 IEDs were / are still bad news, but will eventually be remembered as about as effective as the Maginot Line... |

| #4 Uh, how have those previous engagements with Coalition forces turned out for the redoubtable Forces of Sadr? Uh huh, thought so. Funny how the fairly easy obliteration of Sadr's gangs that has taken place, at our discretion, at various times dating back to 2004 was instantly flushed down the memory hole by almost the entire media, even organizations that did reasonable (by current low standards) coverage of the '04 operations. Instead we hear endlessly of the "cease-fire" that JAM has nobly and confidently instituted - as if they've had any choice but to lie low. Jeez. |

| #3 In the CENTER of the stronghold. Makes sense if Iraqi/coalition forces are working their way in from the edges. |

| #1 "A few hundred yards along the road another roadside bomb was being laid, also in broad daylight. Again nobody blinked, and there were no government or American troops anywhere nearby to hinder the militiaÂ’s leisurely preparations. This was the scene here on Thursday in the center of Moktada al-SadrÂ’s east Baghdad stronghold," Heh. Wanna be we have Preds and other UAVs, and already have the grids on these? |
