One of the weirder turns in the Syrian conflict last year, illustrating the mind-bending and disastrous politics at work there among people who don't give the slightest hoot about the lives of the common people they can inflame or grind into the dirt.

Iran, through a truly screwy secondhand move, has just substantially strengthened its position toward being the dominant power of the Middle East (if it isn't already there, over-against Saudi Arabia).

...they crash-evac'd in the middle of an enemy compound and conquered it by surprise and sheer ballsy skill despite any wounds in the landing?

(Hey, it could happen. That almost describes the raid on Osama Bin Ladin.)
