Kewl! Do it again!
He was pining for the fiords...
This does not something the U.S. might do. It sounds more something Mossad might do.
If we didn’t, we certainly should have.
Saudi Arabia has every interest in finding out what the Iranians are up to.
If true, Zero won’t stand for it. Apology forthcoming.
No fooling? The Iranians let one of their top guys travel to the one country (other than Israel) most threatened by their nuclear program? And he turns up missing? Yeah...yeah, the Americans did it. Bush did it. The Easter Bunny did it.
Heh...heh...heh...*rubs hands together*
Dear Iran,
Please, quit worrying. Obama will have the military Troops responsible for this atrocity promptly arrested, charge and tried in military court.
Their lives will be ruined, their careers will be ruined and they will be sent to military prison. Read the paper, we do that all the time now.
P.S. Sorry we misplaced your scientist, honest.
Yeah, we needed his expertise.
Not everyone working for the Ayatollahs is a raving fanatic supporter of their regime. Some people, who have specific skills and knowledge, are pressed into service through means of blackmail.
This man may very well have planned his escape from Iran for quite some time, maybe decades.
Really? Can he teach us something about Jihad?
So what!
Ha! Unless it’s a rogue cell in our intelligence community, I highly doubt it’s the US! Not with Obama-in-chief calling the shots. Now, Mossad — yeah, this sounds a LOT like them! And the fact is, the Saudi’s would probably even cooperate with the Israeli’s (under the table, of course) if it slowed Iran down. The Saudi’s fear Iran FAR more than they do Israel...
He could well have defected for obvious reasons and prefer to simply “disappear” to minimze risk to relatives left behind. Either US or Israel or both would be debriefing him, along with the Saudis who, as others have noted, are not happy about the Persian/Shiite resurgence.
Whoever is involved can afford to let the Iranian squeal all they want. Given the Persian mullahs’ nuclear ambitions, stripping them of competent technical personnel is worth the trouble where possible.
If only....
Isn’t he one of obama’s czars?
We’re busy making him a new suit. He’ll be back shortly.
