Several top commanders in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards have been killed in a suicide bombing in the volatile south-east of the country.

Iranian interior ministry said 29 people died in the attack, in the Pishin region of Sistan-Baluchistan, and at least 28 were injured.

Shia and Sunni tribal leaders were also killed. A Sunni resistance group, Jandullah, said they carried it out.

Sounds like when the Taliban took out the leaders of the Northern Alliance right before 9/11.

Sometimes things start, and you don’t even realize it.

Waiting for dinnerjacket to accuse the Jooows.

But first, a little comedy relief...

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said "US action" contributed to the attack...

"We consider the recent terrorist attack to be the result of US action. This is a sign of America's animosity against our country," Mr Larijani said, quoted by AFP.

"Mr Obama has said he will extend his hand towards Iran, but with this terrorist action he has burned his hand," he said, referring to US President Barack Obama.

Time for Iran to pick up a mop, I guess.

I love the way they mock Obama and his stupid Appeasement tactics.

We did what we came to do there...might be time to tell them this is their show now.

While I’m glad we handed Saddam...it’s could be time to move on. Starting to feel that way about Afganistan too. I want Obama to show us a clear plan...George Will has a point.

...Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards...

I love how they always refer to "Revolutionary Guards" as "elite". Funny how Iraq's Revolutionary Guard folded like a deck chair when he met up with plain old GI Joe.

I am guessing they used Israeli supplied weapons. Obama is too much of a whimp to help out.

The US condemned the attack, with a state department spokesman adding: "Reports of alleged US involvement are completely false."

Is this Hillary speaking or Obama?

Even my local 'Redneck' friends mentioned that stocking up on some gasoline (now) would be a good idea...It's in the air, I guess.

Uh, oh, he must not have gotten the memo from Obambi telling him that the whole world lovey, lovey, loves us!
