Sadr Is Winning II

Another hilarious example of contradictory US propaganda - from an AP story:

The size of the al-Sadr's forces in the Old City appeared to have decreased Monday with the U.S. advance, witnesses said. Fewer fighters were seen in the streets and some were seen leaving Najaf, residents said. Militant medical officials said at least two insurgents were killed and four others injured.

Now, if the Mahdi Amry is fleeing, how did they get across the supposed tightening US cordon around the Imam Ali Shrine?...
