The BBC is reporting that U.S. forces have seized the Iranian consulate in the Iraqi city of Irbil. We are now holding six Iranian nationals from the consulate. Reasons are not forthcoming. Details sure to follow.
In the same vein, some bloggers over at Daily Kos are pointing to a small line in Bush's speech. In the same breath, he mentioned sending an additional carrier strike force and patriot missile batteries. As ps2006voter points out, patriot missile batteries are not an anti-insurgent weapon. None of our many opponents in Iraq possess weapons which would require patriot missilesto counter.
A message to Iran? Or getting ready for the "new front"?
