Video Killer Thriller In Dubai

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

The ever-readble Claudia Rosett comments on Dubai’s expose on alleged Israeli assassins taking out a Hamas member there buying arms for the terrorist organization.

Today in Tehran is the 31st anniversary of Islamic Revolution led by the Ayatollah Khomeini, the same revolution which has led to the utter misery and isolation of a country with one of the world’s most fabulous histories.  Mahmoud Ahmaninejad as threatened a surprise for today.  The world waits to see what the monster has in store.

Reuel Marc Gerecht, Michael Ledeen and Jeff Jacoby provide excellent analysis as to what’s happening in Tehran.

UPDATE: It looks like we know what the big warning was from Ahmadinejad: Death To Israel. How original.

Perhaps he’ll have an epiphany and get going with his presidency, acting like something resembling a leader.
