Fact or Fiction??

I have a great book to recommend. Written by Stephen Coonts, The Disciple is an extremely exciting novel about espionage in Iran and the craziness of the Iranian leadership. I'll try not to ruin the book, but basically Ahmadinejad gets a bug up has butt to fire nukes at Israel. Pretty exciting stuff.

So it got me thinking about what is going on in Iran and the facts are crazier than fiction. Here is a link of the real world stuff going on in Iran:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15741989
To give you a quick synopsis: three Iranian scientists have been assassinated in the last year, someone dropped a major computer virus on the Iranian nuclear sites and a few weeks ago a blast at their biggest missile site killed 17.

Then we have the fact that the Iranians picked up twelve spies just before Thanksgiving and now they downed one of our spy drones. And we wonder why the people from this country hate us? Granted, other than the spy drone all of that could have been the highly effective (way more than the CIA) Israeli intelligence force the Mossad. So I guess the question is, we wonder why Iranians hate the “American devils and the evil Zionists?”

So, anyway here is one of my points. Until our drone got shot down, how was this so lightly reported? I'm done with American media. I'm not watching the propaganda and garbage and pointless arguing that is CNN, Fox News, CBS, etc. Finding all this stuff would have been nearly impossible on CNN, but the BBC website was easy. Anyway, enough complaining.

My other point is holy crap! We have now spent over ten years in the Middle East and it looks like America is a fart from spending another ten in Iran. This sucks. We can't afford another war financially and militarily and emotionally. Too many of our youth continue to get maimed and killed over there. So maybe all this covert stuff is better than going to war, but who knows? I just wanted show you that there are more interesting things to follow than Kim Kardashians butt. And that book is pretty interesting as well.
