Middle East: Reports of Iranian forces crossing the border into Iraq have gotten a bit of — though not enough — media attention this week. But this is nothing new for a regime with a nasty habit of meddling in the region.

The British Sun newspaper reported Tuesday that "Iranian forces are being choppered over the Iraqi border to bomb Our Boys, intelligence chiefs say."

An unnamed intelligence source told the Sun that "we have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have crossed the border to attack us.

"It is very hard for us to strike back. All we can do is try to defend ourselves. We are badly on the back foot.

"In effect," the source said, "it means we are in a full on war with Iran — but nobody has officially declared it."

Iran, under the hard-line rule of a militant Islamist government, has been conducting proxy wars for decades.

Our leadership is not taking the fight to the main source of trouble over there: Iran.

When my oldest son was deployed over a year ago, he caught an Iranian along with a Syrian, Turk, and a Jordanian. We’ve known this for a while, when is the WH going to grow a pair and confront Iran???

If we take the first black eye, then the liberals will not have a leg to stand on when we defend ourselves.

It makes sense that there would also be some Iranians in what’s his names militia. The darth vader wannabe who went to Iran and got his marching orders a couple of month ago.

The regime’s in trouble and they desperately need a confrontation with the US the take the heat off at home.

Responding is what Iran wants...playing it down takes a arrow out of their quiver.

Good thing international military decisions aren’t decided on FR, we’d be at war with everyone and losing badly.

a Syrian, Turk, and a Jordanian.... walk into a bar...

It sounded like that was waiting for a punchline.

Of course its real and not a joke.

I think we'll have to wait till GWB is replaced.

Really it will not matter if the current one betrays the nation with 20 million illegals polluting the electorate.
