Onward, to Najaf
The AP is reporting that the U.S. is preparing to enter Najaf.
The reporter is stating that the invasion of Najaf will be done 'sensitively' to avoid causing religious outrage.
Invasion = Sensitivity?
I agree that avoiding holy sites is a good plan, but plans in times of war are notoriously and consistently betrayed by facts on the ground as fighting ensues.
I'll believe it when it's over and I have confirmation from the foreign press. The article, on balance, isn't a bad read. Go ahead. It won't hurt. Yet.
