Why is there still no outrage expressed about the Iranian

[JAYJDF]

embassy in Iraq being overrun by the U.S.?

Why aren't our own Dem reps not foaming at the mouth about this.

1. Uh, the 1979 embassy hostage thing perhaps?

And it wasn't an accredited embassy or consulate yet. Now whether you believe that it's a terrorist arms funneling office is totally besides that.

It was an office opened in Kurdistan during the Saddam era, when US airplanes were defending the northern No-Fly Zone.

2. Not much outrage over the continuing torture of Iraqis in US prison camps

or torture of others in the US torture Camp Gitmo, or the terrorist murders of dozens of innocent nomads in Somalia...

3. There's a finite number of outrages one can handle at one

time. This attack is one of many vying for our time.

4. and why aren't other countries dissing this ???

5. Because The Iranian Embassy In Iraq Was Not Over-Run, Sir

Would be the leading reason. There is some question whether the facility in Irbil actually was a properly accredited Consulate. The thing is not as cut and dried as some would like to prersent it. The use of Consular facilities as centers of espionage and other illicit activities is pretty routine, and while diplomatic personnel are supposed to be expelled rather than arrested, it is not unheard of for the niceties to go unobserved in periods of high tension.

6. That is a fucking act of war in itself and needs to seriously be condemmed

by legislatures. So far there is only silence. We need to speak out, me thinks.

[dailykoff]

7. I think we weren't supposed to notice.

Didn't it happen on a Friday before a 3-day weekend?

[EndElectoral]

8. Where is the F*ing proof the Iranina govt was sponsoring terroism in Iraq?

Are we just supposedto take GW's word for it again? I can't. I don't trust him anymore.
