The Iranian blunderbus.

Last weekend, the Free Syrian Army seized a bus of Iranians they accused of being Iranian military, in Syria to support the Assad regime.

Iran responded by saying that they were religious pilgrims.

Then the Free Syrian Army said that they found IDs that showed that some of the people were Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and that everyone on the bus seized, was male.

Iran replied that some of the 'pilgrims' were retired ex-military Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal cited an employee of the travel agency - exclusively used for military personnel and their families - who said that, "Everyone on this trip was either a Guard or a Basij militia. This wasn't a regular tour group."

Not a blunderbuss, but an Iranian blunderbus.
