I can understand why administration is holding it's fire on Sadr (as much as I like him gone). It will have some ramifications that will affect us. But why the earnestness in catching OBL now mainly on July 26, 27 and 28th and not sooner. I would say catch soon as you can get the bastard.

Iraqis, US soldiers killed in Samarra attack

Thursday 08 July 2004, 17:04 Makka Time, 14:04 GMT

At least six Iraqis and four US soldiers have been killed in fresh violence in Samarra, north of the capital, according to US military and hospital sources.

...

The attack caused the collapse of the headquarters, a US military spokesman said.

"There was a mortar attack on the Iraqi national guard headquarters in Samarra. They fired four mortar rounds striking and collapsing the building, used by the national guard and 1st Infantry Division (ID) soldiers," said spokesman Major Neal O'Brien.



Dumbya fans, how do we tell these insurgents that they are not supposed to fight like this after "major combat" is over and after Iraq became "sovereign"?! ;-)

Or, maybe they heard only the "Bring 'em on!" speech, huh?! ;-)
