Apparent gunfire slightly damaged one of Shia Islam's holiest shrines

Militia members blamed the Americans for the damage to the mosque, but Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the chief U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, said al-Sadr's men were probably responsible: "I can just tell you by the looks of where we were firing and where Muqtada's militia was firing, I would put my money that Muqtada caused it."

Brilliant move by Myers & Co.

Unavoidable with Sadr holed up there. The Shiites are looking at Fallujah, and realizing they are going to be back under the boot of the Sunnis if they don't go along with us.
