#1 I really think the administration did this on purpose so they can highlite Iranian involvement. They could have just blown the place up and never said anything. The heads might still be talking about this on Sunday morning. As they should be. I hope they change the ROEs they use against the press too.

Claim is that we scooped up the top Iranian
big brain in tactics to challenge the Anglo alliance as he calls it. US

Hassan Abbasi

If that turns out to be true we just captured and need to interrogate out of this jihadi the entire Iranian action plan against US. HUGE cannot even begin to describe the value of this guy upside down on a water board.

This article tells me we are not going to choke like last time and release these guys. The value is just to much to let go.

#3 Yep, Mike. You know the rhetoric has to be racheted up before we pounce and kick the shit out of the Mullahs. The fact that it's starting is significant.

#5 Hmmmm...what's the penalty for enemy aliens (as defined by the State Department's List of Terrorist Sponsering Nations aka the T-5 countries - Iran, Sudan, Cuba, North Korea, Syria) discovered operating in a war zone against the interests of both the occupying power and the sovereign state?
