It never happened...
Well that's a start.
Hmmmmmmmmm. Could the CIA be more competent than we thought...???
GO US!
Just a "good business plan" of assassinations.
Twenty to Twenty-five dead and the circumstances probably change quickly.
Good News... The Iranians should stick to their traditional Camel transportation.
This was a warning to Iran on breaking the seals this week IMO. Maybe they will think twice now.
My immediate thought as I read the headline... But you beat me to it.
If the CIA has been competent in this regard, you can count on the NY Slimes to tell us and the world about it!
Exactly this is what happens when a 1400-year old death cult tries to mingle with modern technology. Chances are that with the first nuclear test, they blow up half of their own country, leaving the other half to die from fall-out related diseases, and blaming the rest of the world for not appreciating the peaceful intentions of islam.
Dancing in the streets of Tehran commences?
Important Development
Nope, wasn't us. Weren't even there...
Ahhh, whatta shame. No bonus virgins for them.
Could be, or perhaps some Mossad operating out oyt of Kurdish areas giving the Iranians one last chance to shape up. And probably letting them know not to try anything with Sharon out of action.
Seriously, killing the head of the Pasdaran and his top command is as big a victory in the WOT as getting KSM or Saddam.
I am noticing a trend here.
