#2 Tehran has always denied the charges

Looks like all sides agree that Iran should not have any forces in Iraq. That will come in handy when they catch Ahmanutjob running around Iraq with an AK-47.

#3 gorb, doubting Ahmadinutjob would be so brave, but whenever any Iraninutjob is encountered in Iraq, it should be returned in a perforated state.

Make it rendered, no return necessary.

Hizbullah?

#6 On FoxNews this morning, they said the military announced they've proved a direct connection between Iraq and Hizb'allah of Lebanon, via Iran, and that the Ayatollah (Not sure which one, I focussed on a tricky bit of ironing at that moment) was in the chain of command. Hizb'allah is running the training of extreme Shiites in batches of 60, then leading them back home, and shipping some millions of dollars worth of weaponry to them each month. I think they picked up one of the top Hizb'allah people in Iraq in March, and more since, but I was not paying proper attention to the report. Sorry!

#7 Sadly from a political level, unless Iran does something much bigger than this (everyone on the 'burg knows this is big enough to start interdicting Iran in a sane environment) the avg American civilian will not give this much traction. Thank the msm & our congresscowards for that. Too many Americans have bought the bill of crap called the war is lost or are tired of it. It would take a fairly big Iranian incursion or the use of a wmd for the American public to situp take notice, at least imho.

#8 Good work gentlemen. Your country owes you... lesse, geranium orcs are worth triple points, so if I split the interger, carry the eleven and multiply by triple and add the bonus for bagging more than 2 dozen in one outing thats.. lots of beer.
