Meanwhile, Back in the Middle East

John Cole, of course, has been paying attention. So has Main & Central.

The Iraqi government is preparing to level Sadr City. 2.5 million people live there as the U.s. Army and the Iraqi government militia carry out siege warfare.

Meanwhile, the Bush Administration is having trouble with its "villain of the month" campaign against Iran, because every time they go to show the hard evidence, it isn't there.

In Lebanon, where the Bush Administration has backed the Lebanese government, Hezbollah has pushed government forces out of West Beirut. The takeover occurred without any reported opposition, though NPR is reporting this morning that there is gunfire going on.
