At what point are "insurgents" actually invading troops fighting AGAINST Iraq?

[lOKKI]

One point that none of us wants to recognize is the fact that there are foreign fighters from many countries in Iraq.

Capturing Iranians does not automatically allow us to conclude that they are there with the endorsement of the Iranian government.

They may be but that's yet been proved.

We are involved in a regional war that cannot be won by playing defense in Iraq alone.

I think the Administration is afraid aggressive actions, or even just speaking plainly about what Iran is doing, will ignite damaging antiwar backlash in the West. Instead, we strike a "Bring It On" stance and kill the terrorists that go on offense.

Ledeen gives some good stuff to ponder. General Casey went out of his way to nail Iranian Spec Ops in his report last week on potentially pulling 7000 troops out of Iraq. That was a high visibility report, so his placing Iranian Troops info in it was by design.

Casey loves to win. So he loves to be very honest about what's taking place in the best way he can.
