NYT: "Mr. Bremer, in an interview on CNN today, pledged to arrest Mr. Sadr.
'He believes that in the new Iraq, like in the old Iraq, power should be with the guy who's got the guns, and that's an unacceptable vision for Iraq,' he said. 'He represents a fundamental challenge to the rule of law in Iraq, and it will not stand.'
American and Iraqi forces that have amassed on the outskirts of Falluja have begun conducting raids in the city in what Donald H. Rumsfeld, the United States defense secretary, called 'a methodical effort' to find and capture the people responsible for killing the four American military contractors last week in Falluja."

I continue being amazed at the lack of irony. First we are told that the evildoers believe that power lies with "the guy who's got the guns" then we are told of US use of force....
