A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention….

For all those Iranian leaders in the atom bomb program, please form a line for your lovely parting gifts.

Asgari’s disappearance was voluntary and orchestrated by the Israelis

Has anyone seen Zubin Mehta lately?

Chutzpah! Now if the Mossad would just teach it to the CIA.

Why? So they could continue to use it to undermine the Bush administration?

And stay there snuggled up to that flap earred Oompah Loompah forever.

I blame the Jews. No, seriously. They seem to have induced him over with some of that dirty Jew-money, though, of course, they’re denying any involvement…….

“Excuse me, could you hand me a pen and paper.”

The quickest “cooperation” in history.

Little Mahmoud and the mullahs must be freaking out….

Interesting phraseology for an Iranian to be using, no?

But, I’m also very opitimistic about this guy. The Iranians will now hafta shuffle their equipment around and that’ll give us a chance to spot them for targeting.

Welcome aboard General, your people will thank you when they’re free.

Alas, Asgari seems not to have been involved in the nuclear program so this isn’t quite the intel coup for which we’d hoped.

From the WaPo article:

Iranian officials said he was not involved in the country’s nuclear program, and the senior U.S. official said Asgari is not being questioned about it.

I don’t know, AP. I still have hope. Why wouldn’t the anonymous Iranian officials spin it as best they can, and why would our guys tip their hand?

How’d you like to be an officer in the Revolutionary Guard who was friendly with Asgari? Sleep with one eye open, jerkies.

Hehehe.

“I love it when a plan comes together”

Another U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, … suggested that Asgari’s disappearance was voluntary and orchestrated by the Israelis…

Valarie Plame………… “let my people go…..”!, “I need another cover of Vanity Fair, “I just want to be left alone….”!

Where’s “Blinky” and “Depends”?

It’s like a scene out of a frickin’ Tom Clancy. All they need now is a man named “Snake” who went on the beach in Turkey to get him out.

In other news: Allah’s new favorite namecall, “jerkies” and variants thereof. Repressed cussing, poor boy, but it’s funny.

Except…the part of me that watches too many movies thinks that maybe they sent him to us to feed us false information.

Boy, that would make a good movie, huh? With a soundtrack by Flock of Seagulls?

“…and Iraaann, Iran so far awaaaay…”

/terrible 80s pun/reference

Israel denies involvement.

God, I love the Israelis!
