Beware of Iranian Cock

Found this report om Drudge this morning, it seems Iran doesn't like us nabbing all their QODS operatives:

Here is my favorite quote: “We’ve got the ability to capture a nice bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers and feed them to our fighting cocks,” (from Reza Faker, a writer believed to have close links to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad).

Wow buddy, TMI!! Normally, I would hesitate to make sophomoric comments about somebody saying the word cock in a public forum, but the preceeding reference to a "nice bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers" is a little creepy, almost fetish like. I guess blondes are more fun, even in terms of Persian latent homosexual innuendo.

In more sobering terms, Iran has already demonstrated somewhat of an ability to execute tactical kidnapping operations against our forces in Iraq:

This operation was carried out shortly following this years State of Union address, which also followed a raid where an Iranian "diplomatic" enclave was raided. In all likelyhood, the amount of planning required to execute the raid mentioned above likely means that it was not in direct response to our captures a few days earlier, but more likely timed to roughly coincide with the State of the Union address.

While US Forces are suceptable, there are marked differences between our ability to interdict Iranian operatives and their kidnapping operations. In most cases where U.S. soldiers are abducted, they have almost all been excuted shortly after being taken, usually with no taping of the proceedings. The lack of intelligence and propaganda derived from these events, are likely not part of the plan, and thus indicate that these operations are not completely being executed as planned. Why abduct 4 U.S. soldiers, then drive them 50 klicks or so away, just to shoot them in the back of the head? What this tells me, is that while the Iranians have shown audacity and discipline in setting up these attacks, they still really don't have the infrastructure to get captives underground and sequestered once the pursuit starts. In addition, the Iranian efforts seem to focus on soft targets with little intelligence value, while we are taking prime operators.

More than anything else, this means that military personnel must redouble their efforts and realize they could be targetted for kidnapping operations at any time or place, even possibly at home. In addition, I'd like to congratulate however out there is bagging these Iranian dousch-bags. Most people will never know the scrifices being made to keep America safe, and that's fine. Good job and good hunting! PS - beware of Iranian Cock.
