Thanks for noticing Brian I thought this one got buried The news on the wire is that world leaders are absolutly livid about this and they are demanding Bush apologise to Ahmadinejad, I cant wait to see him go "Cap in Hand" to say sorry. LOL I wont hold my breath.

GEORGE W. BUSH: I have authorised our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran's murderous activities.

And just after that warning to Iran to stay out of Iraq,
American soldiers in Baghdad seized an Iranian delegation visiting the
Iraqi capital. US troops raided the Iranians' hotel and they were taken
away, blindfolded and handcuffed and were briefly detained before being
released. In Tehran, Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claimed
American power in Iraq was rapidly collapsing. "Soon, we'll see a huge
power vacuum in the region," he said. "Of course, we're prepared to
fill the gap." He also taunted the Americans, claiming they're trapped
in a swamp of their own making.

wow Iran is upset about kidnapping and taking hostages pacific your on top of this one who would dare hold an Iranian hostage they would never do that to anyone.

Hostages? I don't even think that is in their vocabulary. America should pay compensation.
