#1 It appears that the Black Turbans are using heavy equipment to dig that hole for themselves.

#2 About all that's left is for Iran to pull the dirt back in on top of themselves.

#3 It is interesting to see that this general believes that having a surrogate obliterate innocent Iraqis will make the new regime in Iraq more sympathetic to Iran than to the US. There is a percentage chance that he is correct.

#4 I've been telling Rantburg this for months: The IRG is behind almost all of this crap. And its pissing off the Iranian "Regular" Army (sort of an SS versus Wehrmacht thing). The professional soldiers in Iran are starting to get fed up with amateur crap like this - once word spreads that the Mullas and thier attack dogs in the IRG are tryign to start a war wiht Iraq and are bakcing boomers, the middle class in Iran will push even harder.

This will only add to the internal stresses in Iran.

Good.

#5 Carpet bomb the headquarters of the fools.
This stupid moron just signed his death warrant. Now we can be fairly certain of where many of the AQ types in Iran are holed up and with whom.

#8 londonistan paper quotes an anonymous official who heard the general say this at a seminar.

I beleive it, as it fits well with other intell, but a smoking gun this aint. Faster please, yes, but we need more evidence to make this work diplomatically.
