Poles Urge U.S. Against Najaf Assault -Report
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=4843468

WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish military officials responsible for security in part of southern Iraq are arguing hard against taking Shi'ite leader Moqtada al-Sadr by force in Najaf, a leading Polish newspaper said late on Thursday.
U.S. troops are now poised around Najaf, where Sadr's militia started an uprising earlier this month against the U.S.-led occupying forces, but America's top general said talks were under way to avoid a bloodbath in the city.

"Going into Najaf will be a disaster, it will make the main Shi'ite leaders turn away from us," Poland's Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper quoted a senior diplomatic source as saying. "If Sadr gives up on violence, we should be talking with him. We want to talk with anyone in Iraq who doesn't shoot at us."

1. The NeoCons will kill him
According to them he represents militant Islam and therefore MUST BE KILLED.

Little Putz Boy Sanchez (The Troll who carries the large pistol all the time) has a thing for Mr. Al Sadr.
