I heard this quote elsewhere, and it amused me, so I'll restate it (with this note because I didn't come up with it)

Hear that whooshing noise? That's all the moderate support disappearing
This is the second time Iran's done this. The first time there was some grey area cause the british forces weren't 100% of their location, and they admitted to that. This time... Well, makes me hope that at least the SAS is on a little field trip to their backyard to set some things straight at the very least...

Their actions are rapidly sucking away any of the sympathy I would have over such a territory dispute...

Argh, now this is making me pissed about Iraq. Why'd he have to split our forces instead of concentrating fully on Afghanistan, then on whatever sabrerattling this Persian state has to shake at us? Also, a ground war would be way too costly... Hell, the Ayatollah had freakin children charge machine gun nests armed with only Korans! I wouldn't want to have any US serviceman go through dealing with that...
