ARBIL, Iraq, Jan 11 (Reuters) - U.S. forces raided an Iranian government representative's office in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil early on Thursday and made a number of arrests, Iraq's state television and a Kurdish station reported.

There was no immediate comment on the reports of a U.S. raid in Arbil from the American military.

I have to wonder just how much of the RATS stuff they are going to find in these computors.....and is that why the RATS are putting up such a fuss??

Maybe Bella Pelosi and crew are alittle to close to the fire????? hummmmmm....

Bush just took off his glove and slapped Ahmadinejad across the face with it. Iran's reaction to this will be very telling. If they shrink away, we'll know Ahmadinejad is a poseur. If he kicks back, then we need to be prepared for a wider war.

Personally, I think we should just inform Iran that their diplomats are now hostages.

Heck, I'd like to see those arrested dragged out into the street and have their bodies dismembered and then state on Global Television that "Hell is coming and America is coming with it"....Can you imagine the impact THAT would have? NO MORE MR. NICE GUY....

[jazusamo]

Good news. Thanks for the ping.

The American officials say that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds force trains inside Iran and then dispatches operatives into Iraq, using contacts with Iraqi Shiite militias to attack American troops. "They're training to kill coalition forces," said one senior American counterterrorism official, requesting anonymity. "Their comments about wanting to see a stable Iraq are belied by this type of activity."

Here's hoping the current surge turns into "Operation Tsunami".

And the Left is characteristically appalled. Dead Americans are not their concern.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Why have the gloves been on?

Al Grhaib + MSM + Democrats + naive liberalism.

[SharpTalons]

Remember how concerned Hillary was about Iran several months back??? I wonder how she view these acts of war committed by Iranians in Iraq. Let me guess. She'd backtrack.

"Gregory asking Rice if US forces are going to arrest or kill al Sadr...."

Oh...THAT's rich. What an idiot.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Switzerland represents American interests in Iran, where there is no U.S. embassy.

I think our interests in Iran would be better represented by a massive aerial bombardment.

"Gregory asking Rice if US forces are going to arrest or kill al Sadr...."

That's a question best answered with silence and a smirk.

Hey Imanutjob,
first saddam, your next,
if the mossad doesn't beat us to yo you.
Starting to discovery taking part in messing with 52 hostages wasn't such a great idea?
Just wait, we turn loose the dogs of war upon you,
there's no place on earth to hide.

Duck and cover, mother...

Ohhh, I got rhyme and rythm today!!!

I'm a bad mamma jamma!!! (its on the radio now...)

[SoldierDad]

I hope this may be a sign that the gloves are off.

I cannot understand why the gloves were ever put on in the first place. The war in Iraq needed a barefisted approach from the outset.

[NordP]

Indeed.

How far the once mighty captain has fallen.
Now if Posh choose New York......
