I meant the Iran-Iraq border for this guy.
But it’s logical to extend the policy to the US-Mexican border. Plenty of local heads available, no need to bring them from overseas.

Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said the message would be sent on Qods Day, held each year on the last Friday of Ramadan, "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush..."

We may not like the message -- they WILL not like our response

We should return this material to Iran immediately.
Drop it all right on Khameini and Ahmadinejad’s heads.

He should receive an “explosively formed enema” (EFE). Videotape its administration and post on YouTube so we can all see the look on his face when fire comes shooting out of his facial orofices.

They are the same “elite” level as Saddam’s “elite” republican guard, and we’ve seen through two land wars just how they stack up against regular U.S. army and USMC line grunts. Not well...
It’s like educational degrees - the more there are after a person’s name, the more embellished, the less they mean.

This story puts me in mind of the Indian Mutiny in British India during the 19th. century. After large segments of the Indian Army had mutinied and slaughtered scores of dependent British women and children during that event, the British forces rallied and captured a large number of mutineers. As punishment, they strapped many to the wheels of cannons and blew then in half. I don’t remember anyone complaining that their fate was undeserved.
Perhaps if we were to treat these Iranian killers in a like manner, they would be less eager to join the “jihad”.
To: Geist Krieger
Yep. I have a feeling torture will be utilized. He is Kurdish hands, not here in the USA or Gitmo.

Was he wearing a uniform. If he was, then we have a definite
Casus belli with Iran, as do the Iraqis. If he was not, and can prove he's an Iranian officer, we still have a
Casus belli with Iran, and we can shoot him as a spy. If we can't prove he's an Iranian officer, we still get to shoot him as a spy.
That should concentrate his thoughts when he composes his answers during interrogation. That in turn should help more firmly establish that Casus belli with Iran.
With a rational nation, Iran would be toast. But alas, with the MoveOn Rats in charge of Congress, we don't have a rational nation and it's getting less so all the time.

Iranian Officer Arrested for Allegedly Smuggling Roadside Bombs Into Iraq Interesting. He was "allegedly smuggling" but there is no "alleged" between "Iranian" and "Officer". So Assuming he wasn't wearing his IRG uniform, he's a spy and can be shot without trial. If he was wearing his uniform, Iran has some 'splainin to do. If the "allegedly" can be removed, as I imagine it can, then Iran has committed an act of war against Iraq, the US or both.

Iran pledged to deliver a final reponse to the U.S and other supporters of Israel during a religious ceremony ... on Qods Day ... Qods Day falls on October 12 this year.
When are we going to start dropping bombs on Iran? October 13th?

Is this the guy we are discussing on the other thread? The Kurdish officials in Sulaminieh protested his arrest.

Well that would be a nice birthday present.
