Errm - four whole battalions? I would guess they only want to occupy a rather small chunk of Iraq.

Iran Mullahs have been providing the financial and materials support to al-Sadr, too. Now, the new government is supposedly negotiating with Sadr to offer him a political party in the new government.

If we aren't careful, Iraq will come under Iranian rule and our efforts will have been in vain.

Sounds like an act of war. If they are there I'm sure we know it.

Four whole battalions? Seems clear to me that the sky is in fact falling. Whatever shall we do?

A couple of B-52s should take care of the threat.

Yea. The next headline could then read, "Iran missing troops on Iraq border"

Why are you bringing this up ?

Iran has already denied the report as a scurrilous falsehood.




There is a more logical explanation.
They are simply holding a rally for John Kerry.

Only four battalions. That's less that one pass with a BUFF or a marine company short on ammo.

Time to demonstrate the power of MOABs! I wonder if the dufus Iraqis still think it is a great idea for us to leave immediately. We have never liberated/occupied a more ridiculous ingrate populace, not even the Fing frogs!!! At least our previous hosts understood that if they shot us we would shoot back.

Probably one of those big desert weddings they like to have so much 500 miles from nowhere at 2 or 3 a.m.
