Hmm, Iran is complaining about the U.S. going into one of their "consulates" is that about right?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

In case anyone has forgotten, (And most of the idiots in Washington have), Iran declared a state of war with the U.S. almost 30 years ago. As far as I'm concerned, Bush now has Carte Blanche to hit them with everything we have including nukes.

Are we going to hold them for a year and a half, prance them about blindfolded, threaten to send them home to their families in pieces?

The irony of this is just too much.

Sanctity of structures designated as an embassy or consulate? Hmm, my parents had friends taken hostage at in 1979 in Tehran. Where was the sanctity then?

On further thought, fanatics have no sense of irony, sense of humor or sense of perspective. If they did, they would not be fanatics.

Color me jaded. We'll probably be handing them back with an apology within a week or so.

LOL on the title.

When it comes to outright gall, no one outdoes the Muslim world.

Even the Gauls can't beat their gall. Heh.

Would that consulate be akin to the US embassy in Tehran which Iran overran, where it took embassy workers hostages, slapped them around, beat them, held a mock execution, and hold to this very day?

The Iraqis should squeeze the Iranians for all the information they can get, unravel their networks, and then execute them as spies.

Repeat as necessary.

Someone made the statement that Iran had never attacked the USA. I believe this is false on several occasions. The above mentioned attack on our consolate, the indirect attack on our Marines and serveral other minor attacks. Can anyone add it this list?

If thats the case, that it is a consulate, then we took way too long to even start evening the score.

Chief RZ:

During the Iran-Iraq war, while we were escorting reflagged Kuwaiti tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran nearly sank one of our FFGs, the USS Samuel B. Roberts, with a mine set in international waters.

We responded with Operation Preying Mantis, decimating the Iranian fleet... and sparking an ineffectual flurry of military violence by the Iranians in return.

(The Iranian retaliatory attack culimated with them firing a French-supplied Exocet missile from a fixed launcher at an American naval vessel, I am reliably informed; the missile fell short and splashed.

(This incident officially never happened, because if it were admitted, we would have to launch an attack on Iranian ground facilities -- and we didn't want to get that deep into a war that was about to end with a favorable peace treaty between Iran and Iraq anyway.)

I think that entire series of military attacks, from mining the sea-lanes through the retaliatory Iranian attacks, could reasonably be considered to be Iran "attack[ing] the USA."

Wer?

I'm from the DC suburbs. I had a neighbor among the Iran hostages of 1979-80.

The only reason for the US not to hold the apprehended Iranians hostage is that there are not enough of them. If there were fifty rather than eight, I's say stick them at the bottom of a latrine in Gitmo. Then hold a military hearing on whether they were illegal combatants, including whether they were spies, saboteurs or potentially such. If so, then bring them one of the prison yards for execution.

It's hard to get excited - I just want to shake my head and laugh at how foolish Iran looks. Of course Iran needs to make a case about the sacredness of the embassy thingy before we embarrass them too much over the Qods connection. I'm sure there's more to come.

What nk said.

How foolish Iran looks?

My friend, I'm afraid that you are assuming that the world will remember what happened in Tehran.

Even if they remembered it, they will attribute it to something we did to provoke it anyways.

Do I sound a little bitter and cynical? There's a reason for that. I'm 28, and for the decade I've been able to vote (and longer) I've watched my country start the slide into what it has become. the submissive punchline to every bad joke around the world. People who want to kill us all get more rights than I do in traffic court.

I'm starting to become disillusioned...

Any newspaper (ok, maybe not the NYT or Wallstreet Journal) that reports Iran's indignation over what they merely CLAIM was a consulate (which was a consulate under Saddam, doesn't that change when he's removed via force?) will fail to mention entirely the EMBASSY they stormed and took hostage - releasing them only when Reagan was about to be sworn in as President, because even they knew he's kick their tail with bombers fueling up and ready to go.

There's a reason the SWISS take care of our interests in Tehran. It's not because the rent's too high...

The Iranians are complaining about the sanctity of their consulate being violated??? Wasn't the US embassy in Tehran violated in 1978 when islamic militants including the current Iranian president overran our embassy and held our people hostage for over a year? And are they saying they can aid in the attack on us in Iraq, and we can't stop them. Not so fast my slimy hissing son of a she devil.
