| So whatever happened to the Iranian General who defected to the west? Haven't heard anything lately from him. BAGHDAD (AP) - American forces are tracking about 50 members of an elite Iranian force who have crossed the border into southern Iraq to train Shiite militia fighters, a top U.S. general said Sunday. Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, whose command includes the volatile southern rim of Baghdad and districts to the south, said his troops are tracking about 50 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps in their area - the first detailed allegation that Iranians have been training fighters within Iraq's borders. "We know they're here and we target them as well," he said, citing intelligence reports as evidence of their presence. |

| #9 Yea, but that 'Tit For Tat' by the Iranians will be a bear for the US; being that they have said that all parts of the Straits are covered by their mobile missiles; it's interesting to see what will happen should the US react further than just watching their movements, especially since three of the carrier groups are playing away from the field at the moment!! |

| #5 If done properly, they should never again trust any al-Quds who goes to Iraq and comes back. They could be a "Manchurian candidate." Much as Silentbrick's "heads-on-spikes" public relations campaign is appealing on so many different levels, I'm still obliged to go with 'moose's During WWII, it was a supreme irony that Russian soldiers who somehow managed to escape Nazi capture were instantly transported off to the Gulags. These brave and heroic individuals were deemed irreparably tainted by visions of advanced European weaponry and—even within the abhorent constraints of Nazi ideology—free-thinking individualism. So we need to make it with Iraq. Tehran's mullahs must learn to tremble at the prospect of a democracy tainted operative showing back up on their doorstep. All the better if in the process such agents mysteriously pop a cap in some beturbaned cleric's overly ample ass. |

| #4 I'm in favor of lining the Iran-Iraq border with impaled iranians that are found. Make sure the ones coming across know the fate that awaits them. After all, since no Iranians are involved and they aren't iraqi's, then no one can complain about them. |

| #3 A-moose: I'm in favor of just disappearing them. Nacht and Nabel works for me. |

| #2 I'm in favor of just disappearing them. Then you police up anyone asking after them. Of course, if you can turn some of them, then send them back home, who knows? Turn fanatics into assassins to kill specific al-Quds officers. If done properly, they should never again trust any al-Quds who goes to Iraq and comes back. They could be a "Manchurian candidate." |

| #1 hope that targetting is with crosshairs. Send the bits and pieces back via air express |
