I am thinking a liquified pork enema with a firehose might be appropriate punishment for them, if they are who we thing they are.

Given what they did to those men.

Terrorist training camps in Syria????

"And it was also revealed that a "Saddam Fedayeen leader involved in setting up training camps in Syria for Iraqi and foreign fighters" was also arrested in Mosul. Officials declined to name the individual or describe the location of the camps in Syria.

Since 2003, there has been ample evidence that foreign terrorists were infiltrating across the Syrian border into Iraq, activities that both U.S. and Iraqi officials have repeatedly asked the Syrian government to stop.

Today's arrest was the first official indication, however, that terrorist training camps were operating in Syria

So what does this mean to Iran or Syria.

We get tough on 'em?

Still waiting on that one.

A few details here on older news.

[jveritas]

Most excellent news.

It'd be an awful shame if assassins unknown stole some U.S. uniforms, sneaked into where they were being held, and killed them execution-style. I know I'd be awfully sorry.

This brings up a good question. Can our military charge and judge these guys or do we have to turn them over to face Iraqi justice?

[ohioWfan]

And the good news from Iraq keeps pouring in.....

Slowly but surely the meat grinder turns.

We need to find out where this training takes place. Then the folks there need to meet with a bad accident.

I'm no skeptic as to Iran and Syria's involvement in IZ. But those of you who have been over there or had military experience around munitions- please look at the abc.com photo slideshow associated with this article.
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/popup?id=1693355

The article only discusses the use of imported EFP's which are nonetheless deadly, but crudely constructed, as shown in the photos.

Do those 81mm mortars and RPG rounds look authentic?

First, they appear freshly painted and very clean for anything I ever saw in Iraq. Possibly they were just removed from their shipping crates. But I've never seen any munitions with the lot number listed as the actual Month-Date-Year.

Second, would Syrian/Iranian weapons manufacturers mark munitions with English abbreviations? For example, why are the RPGs labeled "HE" (high-explosive)?

Third, the mortar rounds have an unusual font, as compared to anything I have ever seen.

Discussion?????????
Thanks.

This must one reason why House Democrats have gone into overdrive to pass a "Pull Out Now" bill. Can't let it come out that Iran and Syria are behind most of the "civil war" in Iraq.

[MATSEVAH]

Death is calling sooner or later we will have to go after Iran and Syria what in the world are we waiting for.We are going to find out if Iran has nukes when they shove one up our A$$ , fight now and win or fight later and die.

Qais Khazaali and his followers were carrying the ID cards of the 5 murdered American soldiers when they were arrested on Wednesday.

The Shiite insurgent leaders who were arrested this week and believed to be behind the murder of 5 US soldiers trained in Iran and was once the chief spokesman for Al-Sadr.

The Military Times has more on the brothers and their followers:

Qais Al-Khaazli is a cleric in his early 30s. The tall and slender man was a close al-Sadr aide in 2003 and 2004. He was al-Sadr's chief spokesman for most of 2004 and made nearly daily appearances on Arabic satellite news channels. He has not been seen in public since late that year.

Outspoken and uncompromisingly anti-American, al-Khazaali was a savvy spokesman, who went out of his way to accommodate the scores of Western and Arab reporters that covered the fighting in the summer of 2004 in the holy city of Najaf south of Baghdad.

When al-Sadr stood to deliver the Friday sermon in a mosque in Kufa, Najaf's twin city, in the months leading up to the Najaf battles, a stern faced al-Khazaali stood motionless to the right of his leader. Both wore white shrouds over their clerical robes, suggesting their readiness for martyrdom.

In the days after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, al-Khazaali led groups of young clerics loyal to al-Sadr who protected his native Sadr City, the teeming Shiite district in eastern Baghdad, against looters and worked to restore basic services.

In Washington Wednesday, a Pentagon official who declined to be identified because of the information's sensitivity, confirmed that some gunmen had gone to Iran for training and that al-Khazaali has a following. However, the official could not confirm the number of his followers or whether Iran was financing them.

The two Mahdi Army commanders blamed several recent attacks on U.S. forces in eastern Baghdad on the splinter group they said was led by al-Khazaali. They also said they believed the breakaway force had organized the attempt last week to kill Rahim al-Darraji, Sadr City's mayor.

Al-Darraji, who is close to the Sadrist movement, was involved in talks with the U.S. military about extending the five-week-old Baghdad security sweep into Sadr City, the Mahdi Army stronghold in eastern Baghdad that was a no-go zone for American forces until about three weeks ago.

Al-Darraji was seriously wounded and two of his bodyguards were killed.

What are they going to do about it?

My guess is nothing.
