Well it's about time! I see Iranian involvement against our troops in Iraq as an act of war. Now, if any Iranian operatives are found, they can be captured or killed.
"There were no costs for the Iranians," said one senior administration official. "They are hurting our mission in Iraq, and we were bending over backwards not to fight back."
Well no more. Now, if you're found to be working against us, you're all equally the enemy. I can't wait to see Iran's response. They may decide it's not worth it anymore, which would be nice, but they'll more then likely decide that they'll just be more careful.
Advocates of the new policy -- some of whom are in the NSC, the vice president's office, the Pentagon and the State Department -- said that only direct and aggressive efforts can shatter Iran's growing influence. A less confident Iran, with fewer cards, may be more willing to cut the kind of deal the Bush administration is hoping for on its nuclear program. "The Iranians respond to the international community only when they are under pressure, not when they are feeling strong," one official said.
