If attacking our troops is not an act of war, what is?

When does a state of war exist? When one country attacks another openly? When one country seizes the embassy of another? When one country trains insurgents to attack the forces of another country? How about when the soldiers of said first country attacks the soldiers of the other country? When is this country going to realize that we have been at war with Iran since 1979? WAR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DECLARED TO BE A WAR!

Iraqi police detain three Special Groups operative behind 2007 Karbala attack
By Bill Roggio

Iraqi police have captured three Iranian-backed Special Groups operatives behind the kidnapping and murder of five US soldiers at the Karbala Provincial Joint Coordination Center in January 2007. Meanwhile, US troops captured another Special Groups leader in the Al Kut region...

Coalition special forces teams also captured a Special Groups leader in the town of Numaniyah near Al Kut in Wasit province. The operative is described as an "Iranian-trained improvised explosive device expert" who "traveled to Iran several times for explosives training. Intelligence sources also said the suspect has numerous Iranian contacts with whom he would meet when smuggling weapons and bomb-making materials into Iraq."

US and Iraqi forces detained four other senior Special Groups leaders in Wasit province since June 3.
