Wonder if they’re going to try the diplomatic immunity ploy again...

Or cook some bacon right in front of him in an airtight room.

How many “top commanders” do these terror groups have, anyway? Must be a hell of a turnover.

Its not the surge that is working, according to Nancy, Iran is persuading towns such as Basra to stop fightin the US. I’m sure he was in town to continue the Iranian efforts to spread peace in the ME.

Water board, vacuum clean his “brain”, try him as a spy, convict him as a spy — shoot him.

Shouldn’t take more than a week or two..

When THAT becomes the drill — I’ll start believing we’re serious about fighting these &^%(*&^%(*&^%

I prefer something a little less civilized Yoko Ono singing Show tunes.

It may even be against the Geneva convention, but what the Hey Hizbullah is not a signatory.

The sources said the unidentified Hizbullah commander was responsible for training the Iranian-backed Mahdi Army in the Baghdad area.

And yet, they're getting their butts royally kicked. Mostly by the Iraqi Army. What does that tell you, Iran?

Get the H-E-double-hockeysticks out of Iraq. They're going to be free whether you nasty mullahs like it or not.

I'm convinced this area of the country just south of the capital shall continue to yield up key Iranian players. The area has always been a mix of Sunni, Shia Arabs, and Iranians.
The seat of Shia religion in Iraq obvious to us long influenced by Iran resides in the strip going downward to Najaf, Hillah etc..
Key players have long felt safe to operate in this area. The Sadrist maintain their main bases in this area.
So it is only natural to expect many of the Iranian operatives and sympathizers to be eventually captured within this area.
Perhaps the Iranian network will really start to erode with this latest capture. Perhaps not. We shall see in the months ahead as how much the Iranian influence can bear the brunt of the US and Iraqi forces.
Perhaps like with AQI they will soon completely fizz out.

Oh yes, Iran is our friend. They have done more than the US in stabilizing the situation in Iraq.

If we would just talk to them...

We just need some diplomacy. They really are good people, we just haven't tried to understand them. < /s>

Indicators from all over, including remote sectors in places like India are coming in, including inferences inside Iran, that we are about to hit Iran. The only question still pending is how hard. Camps or targets just near the fairly long Iraq Iran border or deeper in. Such as the recent Kurdish foray all the way into Tehran, where they attacked the Islamic Air Force Command Center killing three officers and wounding eight or so.

Total news blackout there on this after the first burst.

Israel’s recent open warning that it would attack if Iran continues to follow nuclear development adds to this assessment. Lots of other indicators but it’s been a long hard week and we are too tired.

If someone compiles it, or starts it and others contribute, AntiMullah will definitely post it, too. To share it with a very different audience than FR. No secrets please.

At worst it will make the Mullahs squirm more than they already are.

Their anxiety can be seen when Supreme Ruler Ali Khamenei’s plan to annoint and “appoint” the father of his new daughter in law - Haddad Adel - as the next President of Iran next year and dump the Turd there now, has been amended to possibly get “reformist” former President Khatami back into that position as a stalking horse to show Iran is becoming more flexible.

The only ones who might be fooled or accept this “change” and thus be free to make lucrative deals with Iran is the West.

The Iranian people are so disappointed by how Khatami let them down and implemented none of his reformist promises, that this “change” would not get any support inside Islamic Iran.

Simply become a useless profile like Obama’s calls for changes he does not have the hope of a snowflake in hell of implementing but makes terrific rhetorical oratory to the idiot Dems and their ignorant/ naive supporters (for the most part). No other excuse for accepting the impossible promises Obama makes - other than wishful thinking.

Which is exactly how Khomeini handled his Iran take over. Are we really ready to follow in Iran’s (much regreted by almost everyone there) footsteps?
