I would agree..
There is probably a certain amount of Iraqi "payback" going on here as well..
Many of these soldiers stood in lines and saw freinds and relatives die from terrorist's bombs..
Some may be carrying shrapnel..
Definite payback time..

This is a follow up on that Al Qaeda plot that was discovered a couple of days ago. Given that several high ranking defense ministry officials were arrested, we probably found out where the 421 Al Qaeda insurgents are located.

Thanks for the thought, but I'm home, not involved in any way. I was just shirking my cleaning and saw it on the news.

I can't see Iran being ready to talk..
They have a certain amount of Russian and Chinese support..
Second, Iran CAN'T talk to the US directly, we have no relations..
It would have to be through a 3rd party..
I'm not sure they can trust a 3rd party to represent their interests, or ours honestly..
Just my opinion..
I think they really hate the US too much to talk to us anyway..
They would only do that under extreme duress..

Good time for some words from Mel.
—Our Father in Heaven, as we go into battle, every soldier among us will approach you each in his own way, our enemies too, according to their own understanding and will ask for protection and victory, and so we bow before your infinite wisdom. We offer our prayers as best we can. Yes, and one more thing, dear Lord. About our enemies—ignore their heathen prayers and help us blow those little bastards straight to hell. Amen.
