The Washington Post reports that American forces in Iraq now have the power to capture or kill Iranian operatives inside Iraq as part of an aggressive new strategy to weaken Tehran's influence across the Middle East and compel it to give up its nuclear program, according to government and counterterrorism officials with direct knowledge of the effort.
The question is why has it taken this long. The reason we have been losing the war is because of rules like this, originally Iranians captured would only be held for 3 to 4 day then released, in order to keep Iran from expanding its influence in the region (that has worked marvelously). In this war, with the terrorist embedded into the Iraqi world, forces should be able to do whatever it takes to capture terrorist or insurgents. Thats why we will see results from President Bush's new strategy in Iraq because the troops can actually do something. It is ridiculous to send troops into a country and not allow them to do their job, because the Iraqi government has agreements with parts of the terrorist. No, if your intent is to kill Americans then American forces have the right to kill or capture you (in a humane way of course)
