U.S. forces have arrested the two leaders of the network believed responsible for the brazen raid in Karbala by terrorists disguised as Americans, in which five U.S. soldiers were kidnapped and later killed in January, U.S. military officials said today.

In operations over the past several days in Basra and Hillah, coalition forces captured Qais Khazali, his brother Laith Khazali and several other members of the Khazali network, a splinter faction of the Mahdi army.

Senior U.S. military sources tell ABC News that hard evidence linking the Khazalis to the Karbala raid, including the ID cards of several of the dead American soldiers, was recovered at the scene.

The coalition also found evidence linking the men to Iran and to an arms smuggling operation that included the high impact Explosively Formed Projectiles, or EFPs, according to U.S. officials.

What are they going to do about it?

My guess is nothing.

So what does this mean to Iran or Syria.

As far as any action taken against them by the United States. Absolutely nothing

OK, so we know (Have friggin KNOWN) Syria and Iran are killing Americans in Iraq...

So what the EFF are we going to do about it? More hand-wringing?

"The United States should commence bombing immediately,..."

I totally agree, but IF, and I mean IF, we attack the goat-sodomizers in Iran and Syria, we also need to kill large numbers of the terrorists in those camps, and large numbers of their soldiers. The a$$holes need a seriously bloody nose, at least.
