Well said. Bears frequent repetition.
Oh, and do you actually believe that Iran was behind those two assassination attempts?
I will argue there might be a better course of action than taking out Khomeini. Taking him out means the second in designated succession will step up and take over.
The alternate course is to isolate Khomeini by taking out the second and third levels under him.
“But the problems that occurred in those cases had everything to do with poor planning and faulty objectives.”
I’d say poor leadership, too.

Rezi Palahva is poised to lead a transitional government and as far as I know is the peoples choice. Iran has a constitution and he’s been the govt in exile here in the states.
‘Sources say...’ Ye gads...what BS.
Apparently to the radical Muslim culture, hiding out in a bunker makes you a coward, so that's out.
Can't stay out in the open with the peons, though. Too dangerous and too "common". Guess that's why all those Hamas guys ended up vacationing in Qatar...
If Khomeini is still alive, that's my guess where he is. Or maybe Paris?
FROM YOUR LIPS TO GOD’S EARS
I wasn’t sure what Netanyahu was referring to there. If he meant the two actual attempts that we know about, then I think it’s doubtful that they were both instigated by Iran (though there are still a lot of questions about who these attackers were in contact with). But it wasn’t clear if he meant those two, or was hinting at other attempts, yet undisclosed, that may have been thwarted in the planning stages.
My best guess is that he WAS referring to the two we know about, and he was very obviously trying to pull any string he thought might motivate Trump to join Israel’s campaign against Iran. But regardless of his methods, I believe Netanyahu is right to try to get the U.S. off the dime on this, because it is in the clear best interests of both the U.S. and Israel to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program and its dangerous radical Islamist government.
Nah! They don’t expect Khameni to change direction on getting a nuke. They want him alive for Iraniand dissidents to be able to string him up like Italian partisans did with Mussolini.
Well I guess this rules out a swimsuit resort on the coast.
