According to the DoD records at Lunaville's Coalition Casualty Count http://icasualties.org/oif/prdDetails.aspx?hndRef=8-2004 , only eleven US soldiers were killed in fighting in Najaf in the month of August out of sixty killed in the same period in all of Iraq. Hundreds of Sadr's militants and followers were said to have been killed along with some unknown amount of civilians. The shrine itself is to be closed for ten days and US troops will remain in the city until Allawi deems that the Iraqi police are ready to take over the job. And according to the media, the Shia leadership has called for an end to armed resistance, but the clerics later denied it. Fighting still goes on across other cities in Iraq.

Sistani Comes to Najaf
As a man of peace, Sistani came to Najaf. Will U.S. troops recede and fighting stop? I hope so, but I also wonder.

My Prediction (maybe I shouldn't say anything and just shut up from now on)
My Prediction ...
Here's what I postulate: (JMHO)
Bush is starting world war with Syria, Iran and North Korea among others just about right now. He doesn't seem to care or thinks it's the right thing to do, but America could likely be nuked and largely defeated in the world arena. And all the riches which you counted on will be lost. It may be there won't be any election in 2004 because of it; that is, there will be no election in November if the US military is largely defeated and US cities lie in radioactive ruin with the nation under martial law.
The US may well suffer some defeat because of this battle now going on in Najaf, by God - not to mention the torture at Abu Grahib. I will try to stay the course myself as well, but more than likely you will probably think I'm crazy, and you might be right. I probably shouldn't say anything at all. But, somehow I just can't see how massacring tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and taking over their country was a Christian act. But if all you self-proclaimed "Christians" say so, then who am I to disagree? I'm still waiting for God to make good on His promises to me. Anyone can make a promise, but how many ever keep one?
I guess I just don't get it. I've heard all the rationalizations of those in power in this nation, but somehow I must be missing something important. Preemptive war doesn't seem to make all that much sense to me. Preemptive peace makes more sense I would think. Those who call me a contrarian might be right. Everyone in the world seems to be trying to make me not care anymore. They call me the fool and say my thoughts and opinions are worthless. They only try to beat me down and destroy me for fun and profit. But it is written that God is judge and power belongs to Him. The policy of this country doesn't make sense to me. Death and destruction is the path mankind is on. The sharp teeth of the war machine devours the earth and the war-profiteers live the high life.

Curious Forceful Earth Energy Burst Reported
On June14th this year, four days after the G8 Economic Summit at Sea Island which is very close to King's Bay nuclear submarine base in Georgia, EMSC Seismology recorded a 6.1 magnitude earthquake just off the coast at 23:00 hrs UTC. Now this event was not broadcast by any news service that I know of, and the USGS doesn't mention it. Not many seemed to pay any attention to this detection by those machines. Quite a curious thing though. What was the cause of the registration on instruments? Did anyone around there feel a quake? Or, could it have been an echo of some powerful new sonar? Are citizens even allowed to know such stuff anymore? Then again, do you really want to know?
