Sniff, Sniff, What's that smell?
Ah! Bullshit!
IRANIAN forces are being choppered over the Iraqi border to bomb Our Boys, intelligence chiefs say.
Military experts claim this worrying move means we are at WAR with Iran in all but name.
Last night an intelligence source told The Sun: “It is an extremely alarming development and raises the stakes considerably. In effect, it means we are in a full on war with Iran — but nobody has officially declared it.
I don't even have to check memeorandum to know that this will be the topic of discussion on the wingnut blogs for the next little while. Worrying about whether or not it makes sense is of secondary nature to making Iran look bad.
Given the fact that Iranian proxies control most of southern Iraq already, and add to that the fact that they can pretty much just drive or walk across the border, why would they bother to fly men and material across the border where the US can deploy the most high-tech radar systems on the planet? Not to mention satellite reconnaissance?
This smells to me like the bogus story that came out last year about Iran making Jews there wear yellow stars. Fear-mongering for the "Bomb Iran" crowd.
