#2 suicide attacker - how Islamic!

But Fox News suggested the Israelis might be involved, but they would've materialized, killed, and disappeared without a trace.

#5 It's getting unhealthy to belong to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) and have nefarious plans.

#6 According to Tasnim news, this was more than an assassination. Multiple vehicles traveling in opposite directions, a full on firefight and perhaps 3 or 4 killed in the attack team. This was a combat operation. Israel is running combat operations in Iran.

#10 AOSHQ - John Brennan reacts This was a criminal act & highly reckless. It risks lethal retaliation & a new round of regional conflict.
Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage & to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits. https://t.co/0uZhyBTM3S

#11 I said it a long time ago: If I was an Iranian I'd go into just about any other profession besides nuclear physics. I'd rather be a trash collector or a street sweeper. Nobody assassinates guys who hold those kinds of jobs.

#12 @#10 Stealing a national election is also a criminal act. IRAN should not have a head of nuclear weapons program after the Obama Kerry stooges dropped $150 billion in cash into IRAN. And now they don’t and it only cost a few thousand dollars to a motivated Iranian citizen.

#13 Note the Zero Hedge updates added to the article.

Raj and Grunter, thank you for being on top of this for us.

Special thanks to the moderator(s) who got the thing published and made it a headline. Even though we only did a small Thanksgiving for the four of us currently at home, I have been utterly useless today, so I am grateful that y’all do just fine without me. <3

#14 Was it a lot of lead in his diet that did it?

#15 Doing as much as possible to slow/shut-down their program before Biden pumps more cash into it.

And Brennan's statement just reinforces which side he's on -- Iran's.

#16 Clearly he mentioned vote fraud on twitter.

#17 Apparently Israel has decided to hedge their bet and get in front of a possible Biden administration.

#20 Is Brennan a Shia or a Sunni muslim? I think he's an atheist, but the question stil remains, is he a Shia or a Sunni atheist?

#21 Brennan is whatever the highest bidder wants him to be.

#22 He became Muslim while stationed in Saudi Arabia and I think they are Sunni.

#23 Brennan seems to infer Trump was somehow behind it, am I reading to much into his comments?
