You're reading the wrong media then:
Asked whether the United States, in cooperation with Israel, was now engaged in a covert war against Iran's nuclear program that may include the Stuxnet virus, the blowing-up of facilities and the assassination or kidnapping of scientists, one recently retired U.S. official privy to up-to-date intelligence would not deny it.
"It's safe to say the Israelis are very active," the official said, adding about U.S. efforts: "Everything that [GOP presidential candidate] Mitt Romney said we should be doing--tough sanctions, covert action and pressuring the international community -- are all of the things we are actually doing." Though the activities are classified,
a senior Obama administration official also would not deny that such a program was under way.
He indicated that the U.S. was not involved in every action, referring to recent alleged explosions at Isfahan and elsewhere. But, he added: "I wouldn't assume that everything we do is coordinated."

Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai offered a similar assessment on his official Facebook page: "I don't know who took revenge on the Iranian scientist, but I am definitely not shedding a tear."
There's no way that could come back to bite you. I mean, the Iranians can't really retaliate because... they don't have nuclear weapons like the Israelis do.

According to the GOP, Obama will be using warp factor 2 (to outdo Rick Perry's assertion that Iran will be back in Iraq at the speed of light) to condemn Israel for this. Because Obama, all he does is condemn Israel.

That's pretty much the same thing TFA says, except it manages to do it without making all of the text a hyperlink.

The distinguishing dishes from each country face off in a titanic battle to decide the supremacy of the western hemisphere, from Mexico - beans, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a tortilla arranged in 328 different orders, from Canada - Poutine with heavy maple syrup eaten in the classic Canadian setting, oot and aboot in a boot.From the US - our national classic dish - #2 from McDonalds, Supersize with extra cheese, sauce, more cheese, and also put some cheese and sauce on the french fries... and in the drink, a Diet Coke.

Most likely, it was done by the Iranians for not making enough progress on the bomb, just like the last guy. Take someone out in dramatic fashion and blame it on your rivals. It is a tried and true tactic that has been used by Governments since 3000BC.

I'm on a bus from Haifa to tel aviv at this moment and I can confirm by looking around that these are definitely a brown people. Also I have a feeling that if Iran ever were to develop nuclear weapons and obliterate the entire country if Israel, the sentiment would be lol those Muslims ara zany! But one scientist in Iran out of the thousands that are killed their by their own government, and it's the Jews who are "systematically exterminating brown people"

In the 60's, 70's and 80's people who ran around blowing things up, killing and kidnapping people in an effort to create a government more closely aligned with the soviets were terrorists. Those who ran around blowing things up, killing and kidnapping people in an effort to create a government more closely aligned with the

freedom fighters. As a country we are pretty good at spinning this kind of thing.
