#1 What an OBVIOUS attempt at disinformation! The US Mil Intel clearly wants to make Iran into the bad guys - providing IEDs to Iraq - so that the Bushits can have an excuse to make war with Iran. I don't believe a word of this crap.

Spererong Snong, isn't IRAN a bad guy tho, or is America the bad guy? IRAN is the #1 state sponser of terrorism, they supply palestine with cargo ships full of AK-47 and other weapons, why wouldn't they do the same in Iraq. I guess you never hear the massive rallies declaring America the "GREAT SATAN", so OBVIOUSLY there are the BAD GUYS.

#4 message to troll...you are talking to yourself, fool. And nobody with an IQ greater than 0 cares what you think, say, or do.

Too bad you can't find some shaped charge to sit on. Chances are...if the mad mullahs of iran get their way...you will.

#5 Troll is a verb, as in "to troll for Tarpon."

A person who trolls is a "troller", a noun.

How come nunayou english-major types figgered this out before? ;-)

#6 Bobby I always thought that the Web term "troll" derived from Norwegian mythololgy. Where a Troll (n)is defined as: Ugly, powerful and generally dangerous humanlike creatures, but stupid and naive. Seems to fit better than the fishing term-- especially the ugly, stupid and naive part.... ;)

#7 MSNBC still has the NBC report up on msnbc.com, but without the video that NBC broadcast during its Nightly News program.

From what I recall, the mines had a cylindrical top with a cone-shaped bottom. So far, I haven't seen any stills or video of the intercepted mines , so the closest item I could find on the web that matched was this mine .

Caveat: I know next to nothing about land mines. The link is for illustrative purposes only (the FFV 028 and the mines on last night's program look similar). The cylindrical portion of the intercepted mines appeared taller, but that could have been from lens (wide-angle) distortion. And there is no way I could tell how the mines were fused.

#8 I like Bobby's, let use it in a sentence.

I cut up portions of Chomskys' leg and used it as chum for trolls.

Wait that's wrong.

I trolled for Chomskities with a chum of day olde Ted.

#9 Yes, what an obvious attempt to mislead us. Just because the parliment chants "Death to America" when they pass a law obligating the country to pursue uranium enrichment doesn't mean they are our enemy.
Just because they have a history of kidnaping our citizens and supporting terror groups(ever heard of hezbollah, Spererong Snong5027?). But yeah, youre probably right, they are trying to fool us.
