#1 Where will Ansar flee to when the U.S. or U.S. backed Kurdish forces come into the area? Iran will not want to be seen as being a haven for fleeing terrorists (again). Neither will Syria.

#2 Ansar's ducked over the border before. However, if Iran is serious...

I say we bomb like crazy and then turn the Kurds loose on them. They owe them for the massacre a few motnhs ago.

#3 Read the "Kurdish Leader Is Assassinated in Militant Raid" article in NYT.
The description had the marks of an Al-Qaeda hit almost exactly like the one on Ahmed Shah Masood on 9/9/01. Too bad the victim didn't put 2+2 to realize he was being set up. Even his bodyguards got knocked off.
