As usual I get my news from my F-list

BBC website:"US forces have stormed a building in the northern Iraqi town of Irbil and seized six people said to be Iranians, prompting a diplomatic incident."

CNN's version ""No shots were fired. No altercation ensued," the U.S. official. "It was a knock on the door and 'Please come out.'

And I've had the WGN noon news for 45 minutes now and there is no mention of this at all

Sigh....

This made me do a major ~face/palm~ at work. DAMNIT! I get all my news from the London Times and an Italian paper now.

I check the BBC website once a day or so - mainly to see some of what the rest of the world thinks is important news.

But this - wow. Way to go day after you insisted you need to send more troops over there, you provoke a diplomatic incident with someone else!

Iran has been a diplomatic incident all by itself. We don't need to provoke one.

Google News. If this is the consulate story, I knew about it this morning.
