| Karbala abduction/murder training camp found inside Iran |
| 2007-06-18 |
| U.S. spy satellites discovered a training camp inside Iran, where there was a mock up of an Iraqi compound that was the scene of a well planned commando raid that led to the death of five American soldiers. Subsequent arrests of Iranians and pro-Iranian Iraiqs inside Iraq, led to information about this being an Iranian commando raid. The new satellite pictures seem to confirm this. Iran denies everything. |

| #8 I talked to a guy last week who was an instructor in Iraq, teaching Iraqi police recruits how to be cops. Lots of stories there, all of them entertaining and frightening. He had various assessments of recruits from different ares in Iraq, but not good reports about the ones from Karbala. From his info, the team that abducted our five guys in Karbala had white SUVs, just like the Blackwater ones. They had flash-bangs, handcuffs, etc. Their attack was very professionally done. It was not the usual Al Q guys. Had to be Iranian directed and executed. |

| #7 As satisfying as you all think it would be, open warfare with Iran wouldn't be useful or productive at this time. There are other ways, some of which are being employed. |

| #6 The US and its allies never divulge espionage operations, despite what the MSM might think. And though we here might miss out on the lovely stories of derring-do and smiting of villains, rest assured that now, especially, such things are going on. By now I imagine that especially in western Iran, there has been a marked upsurge in sightings of "black djinn" that come in the night and steal souls, and worse. Not that they actually saw such black djinn, just their handiwork. |

| #5 Salman Pak redux. Of course, Saddam simply insisted this was a Special Ops hostage rescue training camp. I'm sure Aquavelvajad will use the same line. |

| #4 I still have a hard time understanding why we continue to allow Iran and Syria to play with us this way. There is something I am missing here. Lieberman, who is a good bellweather for what's happening, is saying we have to do something. So, why don't we? Who is putting up the roadblocks? I'll put my money on the EU & Diplomats (one and the same) telling Bush he will ruin everything and Bush probably more worried about his immigration kerfuffle than Iraq now. But Petraeus must have some kind of ROE on Iran since they are key to the pacification process. Anybody figure this out yet? |

| #1 It is time to get tough with these thugs and take the rags off their heads and replace them with panties. Squeeze em for intelligence. Oh I forgot, we can't torture them and it is hard to impossible to get much intelligence out of them. Send em to Gitmo. Maybe we will get lucky and they will off themselves. |
