The despicable William Lind.

William Lind contemplates that a missile strike on the American military leadership in Iraq by the Iranians could possibly be beneficial to the United States.

What kind of a sick, contemptible person would think that there is any set of circumstances under which the deaths of our diplomats and senior military commanders in Iraq would be benefical to the nation that dispatched them there?

Possibly to our benefit?

Mr. Lind, it is never to our benefit to have our own people killed by foreigners.

It [Iran] could also do something that would come as a total surprise to Washington and cross the Iran-Iraq border with four to six divisions, simply rolling up the American army of occupation in Iraq. Syria might well join in, knowing that it is only a question of time before it is attacked anyway. We have no field army in Iraq at this point; our troops are dispersed fighting insurgents. A couple dozen Scuds on the Green Zone would decapitate our leadership (possibly to our benefit).
