We suspected, now we know. Any reason to delay either taking out Iran or better yet, letting the Israelis loose?

American and Iraqi joint patrols, along with teams, captured two men with explosives in Baghdad on Monday who identified themselves as Iranian intelligence officers, FOX News has confirmed.Sounds like an act of war to me. And we should have a betting pool as to where this runs in the NY Times. I'll take Page A14, below the fold, buried in an article about another subject in Iraq.

When captured, they said, "Allahu akhbar! Kerry in '04!"

This strategery is getting good. Can anyone imagine any democrat who would have the foresight to pull this operation off? Too many ego's.
To: Geist Krieger
I've been waiting 25 years for us to deliver a royal ass-kicking to Iran. The day can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

They identified themselves as Iranian intelligence officers? Why would they do this?
To: Geist Krieger
We suspected, now we know. Any reason to delay either taking out Iran or better yet, letting the Israelis loose?I'd counsel against either course. Iraqis have no love for Iran. More incidents like this and you'll see the Iranian mullahs worried about sparking off a second Iraq/Iran war, with one side newly united under an actual reason to fight and the other side fractioned with dissent against a tolitarian government.
We didn't sweep though to Baghdad because Iraqis are cowards or ineffective fighters. We did so because they correctly determined that they had nothing to fight for. Iran may change that ....

Iran is making their move now, shown by this boldness. They're are under the gun at home and see an opportunity with the Sunni's still sullen and oppositional to gin up the Shiite majority and put their own regime in place.
It's going to be a hot summer.
To: jpl
give them one to remember the hundred hostages they held for 600 days in support of khomeenie ayatollah.
Name it big boy2 or fat boy 2.
a nuke on tehran and a nuke on damascus would put an end to the terrorist organization decisively. without financing to buy weapons, they could go back to camel herding.

They identified themselves as Iranian intelligence officers? Why would they do this? Because the Iraqi forces "questioned" them. Their methods are not constrained.....

I agree that the Iraqis are not constrained and much better at questioning but I find it hard to believe that Iranian MOIS folks wouldn't have been able to throw the iraqis off with such little time to fact check. I have no doubt the Iranians are all over Iraq and I hope we truly snagged some but I'm still a little skeptical.

Is it easy to figure out if someone is Iranian based on their accent? Because they don't speak the same language as Iraqis: Iraqis speak Arabic, Iranians speak Farsi.

Its nice to see that FOX finally got around to putting the story into print. I first caught wind of it on the Hugh Hewitt show yesterday but couldn't really post anything lacking a source.

Ah, they are probably going to test negative for Iranian intelligence, and the Pentagon denial will shortly follow.
