What the hell’s the matter with us? Exchange them for the Americans they’re holding in Iran. You let them go?

The ministry of electricity, aren’t those the guys building the peaceful nuke reactor for electricity?

Being the good guys means we can’t just wack ‘em.

That sucks.

“I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran’s murderous activities,” said Bush, whose administration has accused Iran of arming Shiite militias in Iraq. “The Iranian regime must halt these actions.”

Its about f’n time. Now defeatocrats - don’t even try to tie one hand behind their backs anymore.

The others involved were “Iraqi escorts who identified themselves with Iraqi Ministry of Electricity badges,” the military said.

What absolute bullshit

As far as who was released and why ~ you can be confident that our guys are always many steps ahead and are watching very closely. Things will happen when and where they should. Now they have full clearance to handle the ahmadickwad problem.

We’ll regret that. We might have their plans, but where is the EFP material and arms that they were probably carrying with them or coordinating transfer of?

If you were them and they captured a couple of CIA guys would they reciprocate? I don’t think so? They’d take them to the nearest Iranian torture chamber and kill them after many agonizing days or weeks…

So what is our problem? Should’t we do unto others as they would do unto us?

The war in Iraq was lost the day it was extended one (1) day after the capture of Saddam H. We should have left Iraq soil the next day.
Bush is not fit for planning anything on my book.
We had Osama Bin Laden in Tora Bora for the kill and what he does? He asks the staff to plan and execute a major deployment of our troops to Iraq!!!!
We could had killed Saddam with one smart bomb any given second our Intel could pinpoint his exact whereabouts.
We could have used the same militias now killing our troops to finish the job of taking the regime out of power eventually…
Now he wants to mix it up with Iran!!! Are you kidding me!?
Iran is NOT Iraq! They don’t like us there since we backed and armed (with the same bio weapons we provided Saddam to use on his own people) the regime’s army to the teeth! Yet they managed to hold their ground against all odds…
Don’t get me wrong, we can beat their Air fleet in hours, their naval forces within days and their command capabilities as well; yet we must also understand that they can hit us hard and I mean really hard all over the place! Iran owns a military trained to the same degree that we train our volunteer cores, they’re capable of giving as good as they get, make no mistake about it!
To win any military campaign in a well-planned war against Iran will mean the deployment of our troops in the Iranian soil. As such I can’t imagine how any IED-Vehicle could help us there if we ride on the originators of the #1 US troop’s killer in Iraq!
Stop this nonsense about kicking as* for sure, yes we’ll do more damage than we would get, but again… Iran is NOT Iraq.

Let’s put an end to this madness of having our troops fight and die for new ground every day just to pull out to some other area and having to retake the same stupid targets almost weekly if not daily. We either make a well planned pull out with Iraq’s new troops taking over the spots or we call up a draft and dump a boot every corner of the God forsaken piece of dirt that country now represents to us.

Better yet! Let’s allow democracy to unfold as it has in 99% of the countries that now enjoy it: Home-Grown!
Let Iraq decide which kind of country it wants to become and let us deal with the outcome from our soil.

Rey P:

And your boy Klinton had OBL twice. Once by Sudan and once by CIA operatives who were trying to call in a missile strike on his camp. You have a distorted view of history. You must read alot of Howard Zinn?

You also aren’t a military expert either. You might want to stay at home with your propaganda libnut….Your arguments are a waste of electrons.

Go hang out at the DailyKos fool, since you obviously know about as much on political-mititary affairs as they do…which is NOTHING.

I expect the 5 are Quds ops, the 7 are actually who they say they are (discussions about power had been mentioned elsewhere, IIRC), the 1 was likely the obligatory intel op, and the Iraqis were IG Electricity reps or guards, likely also with 1 ore 2 intel ops.

Iran has more power available than Iraq, but really not much, or none, to spare, but is likely ready to do deals to gain influence and increase dependency.

Corr: “1 or 2″, not “ore”, of course.
