BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Five Iranians arrested by U.S. forces in northern Iraq are connected to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard group that provides weapons to Iraqi insurgents, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

The five were arrested on Thursday in a U.S. raid on an Iranian government office in the Iraqi city of Arbil -- the second such operation in a month.

Iraq is like the Korean conflict, not Nam..........the enemy here is Iran, just as the real enemy was Communist China.

Their Dear Leader (I'm-A-Nutcase") is down in Latin America right now, swanning around with Hugo Chavez. Why are we letting this happen?

If ever there was a good time to strike Iran it might be now while nutjob is out building frequent flyer miles visiting the other nutball stooges. The possibility of doing that and synchronizing a shootdown of his aircraft between stopovers has crossed my mind. Probably never happen but, oh well, I can dream about it...

It I was tasked with securing the condemned as that unidentified soldier is doing, I'd insist on a little range discipline there.

a shootdown of his aircraft

Shootdown is such a harsh word. Now , if the plane were to go down somewhere over a wide expanse of ocean... a unfortunate incident.

You're right. How TWA Flight 8oo of me. A "lost radar contact" would be much more subtle...

LOL! Yeah, "Allah's will" with the firing squad just wouldn't cut it.

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
