This has been a long time coming. Iran has been sending fighters into Iraq for 4 years. Now we can kill'em. What took so long for Pete'e sakes!

Appease no more. You cannot win wars being nice! Maybe we can get this job done and bring'em home.

Course now if the story in the media is to be believed, officials at the State Department are worried that this could cause a confrontation with Tehran. Too bad. They started it by interfering in the first place.

Glad the situation has been corrected. This has been our problem all along in Iraq. We didn't clean out Fallujah when we had the chance. We didn't shoot the looters, in trying not to offend anyone.

I'm sure Larry Gude will agree with me that this is what we should have been doing from the beginning. Oh but wait until the human rights people get back in there and start the "torture" and "civilian deaths" frenzy again. This will all come to a halt. The president yielded to political and social pressure once...

We are at war, why do we need permission to kill anyone while in theater?

:confused: What have they been doing prior to this? Maybe they went into battle with a loudspeaker asking if there are any Iranians? :dork:

For more than a year, U.S. forces in Iraq have secretly detained dozens of suspected Iranian agents, holding them for three to four days at a time. The "catch and release" policy was designed to avoid escalating tensions with Iran and yet intimidate its emissaries. U.S. forces collected DNA samples from some of the Iranians without their knowledge, subjected others to retina scans, and fingerprinted and photographed all of them before letting them go.

A .45 to the back of the head and then left on the side of the road makes it look like they were just another victim of war. :shrug:

No, that wasn't torture, this is...

The prime minister of Canada apologized and offered $8.9 million in compensation Friday to Maher Arar, a Canadian software engineer who was mistakenly deported by U.S. officials to Syria in 2002 where he was imprisoned and tortured for a year.

Arar's case has become one of the best-known examples of extraordinary rendition, a covert U.S. practice of sending terrorism suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation. Often those countries have more relaxed rules regarding the use of torture than the United States.

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff have told Canadian officials that Arar will remain on the U.S. watch list because of independent information about him obtained by U.S. authorities. Arar's wife and children also are on the list, and all are banned from flying into or over U.S. territories.

But Canada's minister of public safety, Stockwell Day, reviewed the confidential U.S. file and said it contains "nothing new" that would justify continuing to treat Arar like a terrorist.

I know you want to use a single ISOLATED incident to blanket all our entire intel agencies as brutal terrorists, randomly going around the world picking up innocent people off the streets and toruring them for their own sick pleasure, but fact of the matter is, and I know you will never believe it because your absolute hatred for all these people, our agents in the field save lives. What they do, although sometimes ugly, saves lives. It may have even saved your and you don't even know it. So go ahead and desparately grasp and any fragment of propaganda that you can find to support your leftist cause. This will not change what they do.

I, too, would consider it torture if I had to listen to the apoligies of P.M. of Canada one more minute.
