This is an unwelcome event. With Talabani's recent statement that Syria was no longer a "problem," I find the timing of this operation suspicious. I know the border was a gateway for insurgents, but there has been a marked reduction in the number of foreign fighters entering Iraq through Syria-partly due to increased security from Syria. This operation better have a damn good reason for having transpired...if not, heads need to roll.
