Israel teams with terror group to kill Iran's nuclear scientists, U.S. officials tell NBC News
msnbc.com ^ | February 9, 2012 | Rock Center with Brian Williams

Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.

The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.

Even if everything was on the up and up...."U.S. Officials" shouldn't even be talking about it.

That said....I'd guess the Iranian's already know who it could be, and probably is.

It ain't no accident.....

Ever think that this is false intelligence? Not saying it is but it would make a lot of sense. Let the Iranians target each other and get them to turn on themselves.


Problem is that bit of false intel just ramped up the immediate risk to Israel by several thousand percent. The only possible justification for this to be released would be to goad Iran into a rushed attack on Israel before they have a nuke.

There was an article posted yesterday on here (can’t remember it but it came in on the Middle east ping list run by Freeper SJackson) - stating that if there is an attack - either Israel on Iran or Iran on Israel, that it would be to Israel’s advantage for it to happen well before the summer.

On balance, I am going for a treacherous and traitorous leak.

Our Islamic appeasing and placating President is working over time to demonize and magrinalize our best ally in the region. HE is using his power and that of his administration to announce their plans against our enemies, and now accusing the Israelis themselves, in essence, of being terrorists because they are killing terrorists who mean to develop a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel and will use it to give to terrorists to hit us.

Thois man MUST NOT BE re-elected. We must defeat him and send him and his abettors and cohorts packing in humiliation this November.

God grant and help us do that very thing.

IMHO, the operative theory behind the admin policy is to:
(a)Keep Israel from attacking Iran
(b) this is because the admin fears it will mean the start of a much larger war
(c)If there is to be any action against Iran, it is to be a US initiative.
(d)The Mombasa MF could very well be saving the region for his own "Wag the Dog" October Surprise action, in case the election really looks bad.

Supporting "democracy" in Syria is quite possibly the stupidest American Policy since the Maine blew up in Havana harbor. In the first place, "majority rule" in these places means Islamic Rule. In Syria, the first unintended consequence (I hope it is unintended) means the massacre of Christians in a country that has possibly the oldest Christian tradition in the world. In the second place, there is no room for democracy within the Islamic tradition. The worthy oriental gentlemen under whose arses Allah the All-Wise placed all that oil, don't have or don't want a clue about it.

The cleansing fires of Armageddon are central to the Shiite sect's (read Iran) idea of Muslim theology. In short: everyone on Earth must die, so that Infidels and Muslim heretics (i.e., non-Shiites) can serve as slaves of the faithful true Shiite believers in Firdous (Islam's Idea of a Whorehouse Heaven) for all eternity. Whereupon Allah, The All Merciful will seize the opportunity to remake the world as an all-Shiite leafy suburb with all mod cons.

PS, I wish TF I was making this up. Of course, I also wish I were making up the fact that today's dumbed-down, obese, tattooed, foreclosed, 20% unemployed, sorry excuse for an American electorate is all too capable of re-electing The Mombasa MF. The idea Obama is successfully selling them is, "... that the people who have caused the pain ... Team Obama ... ARE THE ONLY ONES CAPABLE OF CURING IT. So don't endanger the benefits taken from the wealthy and re-elect him!"

I can't help but wonder how much sand a 1970's terrorist can pack ~ surely no where near what the imagination a world class poser could conjure....

Good points all, I'd like to comment on a couple of them:

IMHO, the operative theory behind the admin policy is to:
(a)Keep Israel from attacking Iran

Definitely.

(b) this is because the admin fears it will mean the start of a much larger war

If Israel is the aggressor, most of the Middle East will say “Skip our differences for now, we'll sort them out later.” I respect the IDF more than almost any other force on the planet, but that would be an unsurvivable assault. It isn't 1967 any more.

(c)If there is to be any action against Iran, it is to be a US initiative.

This is the biggie. Obama wants to set the conditions, not get pulled into war by an ally. That would also play well to the Pentagon. Getting pulled into wars or police actions started by Allies - think Libya - doesn't sit well. sadly, the reverse never seems to be true!

(d)The Mombasa MF could very well be saving the region for his own “Wag the Dog” October Surprise action, in case the election really looks bad.

I honestly can't see this happening. His true believers might fall for it, but there was so much screaming when “Bush did it” that the majority of the electorate won't fall for it.

Supporting “democracy” in Syria is quite possibly the stupidest American Policy since the Maine blew up in Havana harbor. In the first place, “majority rule” in these places means Islamic Rule.

This is a problem. America is justly proud of democracy and for decades has had the sworn mission to spread democracy and the fundamental human rights around the globe. Unfortunately, he has precedent on his side here - and he is (supposedly) a lawyer. It is an easy spin for him.

Just an outsiders perspective.

If Israel was really a terror-sponsoring state Zer0 would be bowing to Netanyahu.

Oh, oh, oh, now I think I get it - also Putin said that Russia would act to defend Christians from persecution, which the wonks around here said was intended for the relief of the Syrian Christians.
