Shameful: Obama's FEMA denies aid to West, Texas town he promised would not be forgotten...

Hey, Texas is a Republican controlled state. What did you expect?

Via The Hill:

[...]At a funeral service for the first responders who died responding to the fire that eventually caused the explosion, President Obama pledged the support of the federal government would continue “even after the cameras leave.”

“To the families and neighbors grappling with unbearable loss — you are not alone. You are not forgotten,” Obama said.[...]

But Obama lied...

[...]The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is denying an appeal for funds to rebuild West, Texas, the site of the April 17 explosion at a fertilizer plant that killed 15 people and destroyed some 150 buildings, according to a report by The Associated Press.

Confirmed: Mossad behind exploding Iranian nuke scientists

Who would have guessed?

(JPost) — Israel’s Mossad is responsible for training and paying the assassins of a number of Iranian nuclear scientists over the past two years, TIME magazine reported Saturday citing unnamed Western intelligence sources.

In addition to the assassinations of the scientists, all of which were carried out using nearly identical magnetic bombs attached to the side of their cars, the intelligence sources claimed Israel was responsible for an explosion at an Iranian missile base outside Tehran late last year.

Majid Jamali Fashi, one of several suspects arrested, tried and sentenced to death by the Islamic Republic in the past two years, was part of a cell operated by the Mossad, the sources cited by TIME said.

The latest assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist took place last week in Tehran. Like the others before him, 35-year-old Darioush Rezaie, a physicist, was killed by a magnetic bomb attached to the door of his car.

The assassination came just a few days after Iran announced it was activating the Fordow enrichment facility near Qom, buried hundreds of feet under a mountain.

Senior commander in charge of Iran's missile development program explodes

Mossad seen nodding in approval.

(SMH)- AN EXPLOSION at a Revolutionary Guard base in Iran killed a senior commander in charge of the country's missile development program.

Brigadier General Hassan Moghaddam was said to be ''responsible for industrial research aimed at ensuring self-sufficiency of the Revolutionary Guards' armaments'', a coded way of confirming reports that he was responsible for its missile inventory.

Iranian authorities claimed the explosion was caused by an accident which happened as ammunition was being moved, but the high-profile status of its main victim will add to speculation that it was an act of sabotage aimed at the country's nuclear weapons program.
