File under: al-Qaeda in Iraq

#1 Damn! The BBC is reporting that Danish troops in Iraq evacuated hundreds of Iraqis, with families, who worked for them during the intervention. Now the Basra pocket is near toast, in face of do-nothing against Iranian aggression.

Time to dust off the nukes? Why the hell make and store or direct 10,000 nukes, and then not use them against a tyranny that is building nukes for use against the US Homeland?

#2 The primary suspect is believed to be a former regime Army officer

Nice. I don't recall any of those being picked up before. A cell phone, too -- the IA 2/2nd is having a good hunt.

Either that or they are prepping a likely battlefield by getting out their civilians.

And yeah, their soldiers too. sigh. Still, Denmark has done a LOT for a country their size, compared to most of the rest of Europe. Unfortunately, none of those militaries was in good shape for real operations and even the countries that want to contribute are finding their equipment, men and political will near exhaustion.

What that's going to mean is either craven surrender on our part or bringing out the big guns. It's hard to see what other options there will be soon.

#5 The Danes understand what will happen to their friends should Harry Reid be successful.
