A military statement says the suspects were arrested during a raid in northeastern Baghdad early Friday morning.

and will continue to do so no matter how many articles are printed edited and broad casted why even bother
“six people “suspected” of involvement in smuggling explosives from Iran.” ..............Caught doing it? Caught red handed as they say, or just possibly they may have been doing it? Were these people Iranian? Was their sources the Iranian Gov’t or the Army? Arms dealers could have provided the bombs. “Tehran denies”,....... to the rest of the world it still remains questionable.
Who is supplying Iran with the components/ingredients/supplies to make up these bombs?
This deserves discussion as well.
This is an easy one. Put the detainees and their smuggled stuff together and put a blasting cap on the contraband to see if it really is an explosive.
So? We can detain every thug over from Iran but so long as our government rufuses to do anything about it, our guys will continue to die. I have about had enough of this terrible war that we refuse to win.
No doubt. Why have we not mined the border crossings?
Why is it ‘detain’ and not ‘shoot’?
We can only hope the gloves would come off at that point. I have no confidence that will happen.
