Looks like this thing is ramping up. I wonder what the official bombing date will be.
I wonder if predators will play a major offensive role here.
Can we get a 3fer at the Saddamn hanging??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Politics leads to a sell out of our troops. There ought to be calls for retaliation against any nation that is killing our soldiers. But while conservatives don't want to criticize Bush, the democrats want to prevent any military action against Iran. So we have no one calling for a more aggressive reaction.
Have the usual squawkers, here in the US, started making noises about "respecting the rights of diplomats"?
There ought to be calls for retaliation against any nation that is killing our soldiers.Someone attacks you and your choices are only two:
Many things can come of retaliating, but there can only be one consequence to not-retaliating:
The same people will attack you again.
Aren't there 3 or 4 carrier groups in the ME area now?
diplomatic immunity ??????
I'd like to see it end the way Danny Glover ended it in Lethal Weapon 2.."it's just been revoked!!!" BLAM!! (Good actor but a crazed Lefty, I know..)
"2 had diplomatic immunity"...what..they held our Embassy employees for a long long time.....lets hold theirs for a few...oh thats right..we are PC.....and that is why we will lose this war..
I really think something is afoot. There are just too many "we found our problem and it was guys from IRAN" stories coming out the last few months. It is as though the case for some event is being built in the courtroom of the media and public opinion.
Diplomatic cover should excuse any soldiers from facing a firing squad.
For every Iranian caught in Iraq it should mean 10 missile strikes in Iran with no warning to them.
I think we are probably all ready in position and loaded for a major necessary assault on Iran. I don't think it will happen. We keep marching up the hill and marching back down again.
These Iranians are too low level for justifying what needs to be done. They could be used to justify raids across the border but not glassing Teheran which IMHO is what is called for right now, I mean, like, RIGHT NOW.
Hmm I'm not expert on diplomatic immunity, I guess it is afforded even when one is outside the embassy. BUT I would think there are exceptions for certain hostile acts, and even if the diplomats are returned certainly their home countries can be held accountable for acts of war.

No, the truth is just now being reported. Iran has always been the main force behind the insurgency. If Iran and Syria stayed out of it, there would be no insurgency.
Where did you get the idea that YOU would see signs of military action?
"But while conservatives don't want to criticize Bush, the democrats want to prevent any military action against Iran." We have plenty of "conservatives" here who LOVE to criticise the President, deserving or not. In fact, thats all they do.
Two of the men had diplomatic immunity and were released them to Iran,
should've waited 444 days.
>>No, the truth is just now being reported. Iran has always been the main force behind the insurgency. If Iran and Syria stayed out of it, there would be no insurgency<<
Yes, but my point IS that it is just now being reported.
