I’m a little skeptical. On the one hand, the original source is THE SUN. It’s not as scrupulous as most of the media. On the other hand, there was a TIME magazine report some time back that described a near shootout between US and Iranian force inside Iran. The Iranians have become increasingly bold of late, so I could believe it. They did snatch British sailors inside Iraqi waters, for example. I’d not bet on this story, but I won’t be shocked if it’s true.

We should get affirmatives soon on this one. I continue to think the regular Iranian military must be getting very unerved over how the scum bags are running the country into the ground as well as pissing the US off to the point they could be in for real hard times.
I would not be the lest surprised if deals have not been worked out for us to not target some of the regular army, airforce installations, and just go after everything that would harbor any of the revolutionary guards, and of course the nuclear and things related industrial sites etc..
Ahmadinejah and his masters are sure pushing the limits.
The damn fools are well... damn fools.

If this is true we are in a difficult situation.
The Irainians are going for the Southern oil but more importantly the Shatt Al Arab port at Umm Oasr. Basra and the British are toast.
We failed to understand the dynamic between Shia and Sunni ( they attacked the WTC — not the Shia). The Shia now see a weak and unstable Iraq and we are hugely out numbered. The Shia will rise up to support the Iranian Ayatollas . The Iranians have 1 million under arms including a 50,000 man air force and a 20,000 man nay. ( notice I said “man” ) The Shia represent 62% of the Iraq population ( approximately 18 million) Iran has 63 million. Kuwait is entitely Shia!! If this invasion is true you may run to get oil in your car tomorrow and stock up on food because gasoline will go to $10 a gallon over night.Shia hate Sunni equal with infidels. I pray in the name of Jesus this report is not true.
