Well boys and girls, it looks like we found us some gen-u-ine Iranians in Iraq, and they're not there to have a bake sale, that's for damn sure. The Bush Administration refers to them as "senior military officials".

Now I'm trying to be objective about this. I have a hard time understanding why Iranians would want to go to Iraq and help with the insurgency considering the vicious attacks on Iran perpetrated by "Sodom" Hussein in the 80's.
The news reports were not too terribly specific as to the details behind the capture and what evidence they had to back up their claims that these Iranians were there to aid in the insurgent attacks. Some people even claim that this was a publicity stunt in order to draw support for the US against Iran contingent.
It is somewhat ironic, assuming the captured Iranians are actually senior military officials that were indeed there for less than honorable reasons, that later that week the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad, said he hoped Saddam's hanging would bring stability to Iraq. Rrrrrright. You know, for a brief second, I wondered why Iran didn't send any troops to help with the Iraqi conflict. After all, Saddam was responsible for countless Iranian deaths. But then I realized, it's all a ploy. A clever ruse, if you would. Iran, much like many Democrats nowadays, are hell bent on us failing in Iraq. Regardless of their history with Saddam and Iraq, they still have priorities, and those priorities consist of a few things. Making the Americans look like Warlords, and, well, there was one more. What was it...? Oh yeah, wiping Israel off the face of the map. That's a whole new can of worms
Although, I don't know of alot of Republicans who have a fix for this issue either. But seriously, do we really want politicians making military decisions(based on their vast military strategical training)? I don't.
Lets get some concrete proof that these guys were aiding the insurgency in Iraq and do something about it.
