#2 No, it makes sense. First of all, most of the Iranian infiltration has been in the South, in the British held territories. At intervals, we have been policing up a lot of their rank and file, with some 2-3,000 currently in Iraqi prisons.

However, recently, the Iranians have gotten bold in shipping both personnel and war materials into the South and Baghdad, which is more and more Shiite.

So by having a "Night of the Long Knives", and rounding up hundreds, even thousands, of Iranians, we will essentially arrest a heck of a lot of their "elite" forces, with far fewer casualties than if they back a second Mahdi revolt, and set up a serious defense.
