I hope CNN is a credible source for you...

Oh, sh!t. call the UN, we have a slaughter here! I hope Israel will help you out and Veto on this issue.

I heard there were either 2 or 3 C-130 gunships tearing things up. I'd wager the only safe ground (for now) is inside that mosque.

It looks to be working.

At least in part. Sadr will wait until the last moment, declare a cease-fire, and we'll all go merry 'round again.
