Since when does having 50 mercenaries training insurgents justify
...invading another country?

Gen. Rick Lynch, the U.S. commander in charge of operations south of Baghdad, who has said that 50 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps are training Shiite militias in Iraq on how to use mortars and rocket launchers, suggests this as a basis for invading Iran.

What ever happened to the 200,000 Iranian Army troops poised on the border as the basis for invasion? Wouldn't that provide more targets?

1. There are 50 Iranian mercenaries in Iraq?!
Maybe our 120,000 mercenaries ought to do something about that!
