"Iranians" found among Hezbollah dead

Oh, this can't be good.

Members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard have been found among Hizbollah guerrillas slain by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, Israel's Channel 10 television reported on Wednesday citing diplomatic sources.

It said the Iranians were identified by documents found on their bodies, but gave no further details on how many were discovered or when. Neither the Israeli military nor Hizbollah representatives in Beirut had immediate comment on the report. (Emphasis mine)

Documents? What kind of documents? Were they carrying IRG identity cards? Maybe they had bus route maps of Tehran.

The timing of this is, shall we say, just a little suspicious. This looks like a ticket to a full-on offensive and a push to, as Billmon suggests, downtown Tehran.

The warbloggers will probably start frothing at the mouth over this any minute, if it weren't for one small detail - Reuters is the source and, well, the chickenhawks just don't trust Reuters anymore.

Something to keep in mind. The "documents" were "found" among the dead. Dead men don't speak Farsi, Arabic, Hebrew.....
