#1 "There are no Iranians in Samarra. They are CIA plants. The Jews are behind it."

(How soon before that's a headline?)

#2 Isn't this grounds for attacking Iran? After all, Iran is engaging in military action against the US and its allies. Is there not enough proof that this is officially sanctioned? Is our reluctance purely political?

#4 Not a good time for Iran to piss of the US when we've got 100,000 + highly motivated and well trained military just next door. I'm sure we've got a few MOAB's that are gathering dust and need a place to nest.

For President Bush this wouldn't be wagging the dog...rather just twisting the turban.

#5 Armed Iranian agents fighting in Samarra? Yep, that's a case o' belly, alright. I've been wanting to see mullahs swinging from lampposts ever since 1979; let 'er rip!

#10 tu -- In Shi'ite logic that would be a victory.

#11 Brett: WTF?? and another WTF?? for his proposal to shut down the best deterrent we have against underground nukes. Kerry's insane.

#12 Y'know all those nuclear mines we had that we might use if the Soviet army came across the Inter-German border area? Maybe we need to plant a few of those along the Iraq/Iran border. Just be sure to warn the Iraqis to stay away from the border region because "we're gonna fly Apache gunships there, and they'll fire at anything moving". We'd have a "hot October" all right, about 35,000 degrees Celcius hot. Doubt if there'd be much cross-border traffic after the first one went off, though...

#13 What am I missing here? The Iranians are Shi'ites. Under an election system in Iraq, the Shi'ites would have significant control just due to numbers. So 1-2-3-4 what the hell are they fighting for? I guess I'm just too Western. Is the logical conclusion they are fighting to drive us out. They seem to follow a fire ant or wasp nest analogy.

#14 Sorry for the additional post.

Piss ant analogy. Hey honey, where's my other bottle of JacK. Maybe that'al clear things up and get er done.

#15 JQC, I think that you are assuming that a Shiite is a Shiite. The majority of the Iraqi variety have no interest in being controlled from Tehran thus Iran is funding the resistance.
