First via Hot Air comes the news that everyone already knew, but was waiting to be confirmed.The Karbala operation that left five U.S. servicemen dead was likely carried out by Iranian Revolutionary Guard or at the very least trained By I.R.G. advisers. CNN caries the whole story. Also it’s been reported that Iran’s arming the insurgency with state of the art conventional weaponry. Ironic that it comes just as some anti-American Communist front groups with ties to Radical Islamists have been trying to scare up support for an anti-Iranian war movement, is it not?

Second, in a post about China’s capitulation to Muslim social mores I presented the view that the Chinese were afraid of an insurgency starting in their country, thus the good will gesture to the Muslims. Commentator Jane Shearer said the Red’s wanted to forge an alliance with Radical Islam, and given recent developments, it seems like she’s right. Maybe she can be the new Far East analyst for Red Alerts. Thanks Jane!
