Across Iraq, battles erupt
Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army fought US, Iraqi forces in Baghdad and Basra on
Tuesday.

Baghdad - The Mahdi Army's seven-month-long cease-fire appears to have come
undone.
Rockets fired from the capital's Shiite district of Sadr City slammed into
the Green Zone Tuesday, the second time in three days, and firefights
erupted around Baghdad pitting government and US forces against the militia
allied to the influential Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
At the same time, the oil-export city of Basra became a battleground Tuesday
as Iraqi forces, backed by US air power, launched a major crackdown on the
Mahdi Army elements. British and US forces were guarding the border with
Iran to intercept incoming weapons or fighters, according to a senior
security official in Basra.
The US blames the latest attacks on rogue Mahdi Army elements tied to Iran,
but analysts say the spike in fighting with Shiite militants potentially
opens a second front in the war when the American military is still doing
battle with the Sunni extremists of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

A second front. More attacks. More violence. More deaths. More billions, and
perhaps trillions of dollars wasted. No end in sight.
Welcome to the reality of Bush's dirty little war...
