#1 "Well, unless Iran is willing to claim them as their personnel, we will bury them in a grave with pig entrails in 72 hours."

#3 There were many acts of war. Israel did nothing.

#4 No surprise, just a matter of time. Iran doesn't care , they basically admit this is their operation and they started it. What I would like to know is when we are going to crack their knuckles ?

#6 We had American flyers flying and fighting with China, England, and France before our own country got officially involved. This doesn't seem like an act of war unless Israel has proof these RGs were ordered there and not "over zealous" volunteers.

#9 Yes. Sold or lent/leased to the friendly countries. Lots of P-40's for example.

Lend lease? The Flying Tigers? Yeah, I'd say so.

#11 acknowledged. IIRC they volunteered and resigned their commissions, if any, with us first. Lend/Lease was a fig leaf. The Iranians haven't even bothered with that

#12 Honestly, the more evidence I see of this sort of conventional Iranian involvement, the happier I am, since at least it seems to indicate that Iran doesn't have a big surprise planned for the immediate future.

#13 #7: were we supplying those fighters with American weapons?

Chenault's Flying Tigers were Americans flying American planes with American Bombs and Bullets.
I'd have to say "Yes"

#14 Actually, the Flying Tigers did not fly their first comabt mission until after December 7, 1941. That doesn't change the fact they were American pilots flying American supplied aircraft and being paid handsomely for it. However, they weren't in the employ of a regime bent on the eradication of a whole race of people.

#18 Frankly I'd like to see a LOT more IRG dead, as in "all of 'em"

#19 Don't the Iranian moolahs have some weird end-of-the-world apocolypse, hidden Imam fantasy? I think i've read somewhere that their brand of shi'ism has a bunch of myths about something like the second coming related to a decendent of Ali (mahmout's son-in-law). Too many wacky cults to keep track of...
