#3 Since the Iranians are sending more developed weapons to Iraq, if the lads happen to capture some of the more high tech samples, that would be good too. Funniest if Iranian SAMs start taking out Iranian aircraft with al-Quds in them.

#5 sounds like it's been the Brit hierarchy's testicular shortage, not the guys on the ground. Bad ROE can tie up the best of warriors, no?

#7 Now now, the SAS may have been doing this for quite a long time and we just didn't know about it. And frankly, I'd favor us continuing not to know about it; I'd equally favor the SAS continuing to do the good work they're doing ...

#9 To whine an old whine - and with the slightest hope that in fact such things have been taking place in the dark - it almost pains me to hear of "intense firefights". There is really no excuse for any contact with our enemies of the sort described being anything other than a complete annihilation of the enemy. If there is "contact" inside Iran, the enemy should be obliterated from the air, at the least.

We took the momentous, amazing step of invading and occupying one of the key Arab countries, which just happens to border our main global enemy, and we SEEM to have failed to exploit this situation, especially when the enemy was so unwise as to directly intervene in the festivities next door.

The al-Quds force - and other IGRC or other Iranian outfits of interest - must sleep somewhere, they must have facilities, properties, etc. That is, the enemy has an address. We should have long ago seen the strains within Iran as a result of our relentless killing of IGRC, intel, and other personnel, including inside Iran. The outcome may be the same in the end, but I fear the cost in Coalition and allied Iraqi lives will be much higher than it should have been.

#10 PAYVAND.com > IRAN NEWS > A LESSON FROM HISTORY IN ATTACKING IRAN. Iran's greatest weapon agz US is TIME. As long as Iran controls the initiative vv America, Iran does NOT need sophisticated weapons, or Nukes-WMDS, or Terror proxies, etal. to defeat the US = US policies. AMERICA WILL MOSTLY DEFEAT ITSELF LONG BEFORE ANY US MILFORS EVEN TOUCH IRANIAN SOIL; + AN ANTI-IMPERIALIST CASE AGZ IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM.
