Who's killing Iranian nuclear scientists?
CNN ^ | January 12, 2012 | Josh Levs

An explosion on Wednesday killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a top official at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant, Iranian officials said.

He is the third man identified as a nuclear scientist to be killed in Iran in a mysterious explosion in the past two years. A fourth survived an assassination attempt.

In each case, someone placed a bomb under the scientist's car.

Iranian officials, on state-run media, blame Israel and the United States.

"I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday.

"We believe there has to be an understanding between Iran, its neighbors and the international community that finds a way forward for it to end its provocative behavior, end its search for nuclear weapons and rejoin the international community and be a productive member of it," she said.

While Israel generally refuses to comment on accusations and speculation , Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, said on his Facebook page Wednesday, "I have no idea who targeted the Iranian scientist but I certainly don't shed a tear."

H! is just annoyed that she can not pee on vanquished enemies without squatting.

That's an image I could have passed up.

Our Country under the Kenyan Muslim Obama-boy hasn’t got that kind of courage.

How much courage does it take to order someone to kill another?

I think using assassination as a policy tool fits in the Democratic way of thinking on national policy. They don’t like spending money on conventional forces, but spies and special forces have two benefits; they’re cheaper as a whole than conventional forces and there are fewer casualties. JFK thought this way.


The Swiss method works for me. I would rather see generals, etc get killed than our troops.

JFK thought this way.

And that is why we still have a Castro in power in Cuba.

This is a good example of asymetrical warfare. They build a nuclear arsenal, the other side rents a couple of motor scooters and wires about $20 worth of explosives to a handful of cars. Somebody is learning their lessons very well.

The Mossad.

I know who did it! It was those white, conservative, Christian TEA Party people. They are the nexus of Evil in the the US and the world. Oh Lord, who will stop them?

"...I hesitate to place blame, but I have noticed it take a very precipitous turn towards edginess and lack of civility with the growth of the Tea Party movement."
