A deputy defense minister?
Sort of like Wolfie?
What would Wolfie know?
What would Wolfie not know?
Set A > Set B.
Past tense, old news.
Iran knew all that the first day he didn't answer his cell.
Some folks were probably in denial for a awhile, but eventually 2 and 2 make four for even the obtuse.
Soooo....
Rumors abounded and then...
"He wuz kidnapped."
"Ya stole him."
Meaning....
"This hyar town ain't big enough for the both of us?"
"We owe ya one?"
"It's wrote down in the book?"
"Doan come cryin when we...?"
"I'm tellin mommy?"
My best guess....leaving a LOT of room for latitude...is that the intended communique was...
"They HAD to steal him, fellow Iranians, otherwise he never would have left Nirvana voluntarily."
If I'm wrong...
