5. "confirming that Iran's Supreme Leader has been killed "

3:00 PM, EST, Feb 28 -- CNN, MSNOW all carrying statement from Israeli government "confirming" that Iran's Supreme Leader" was killed in an airstrike. No word yet if it was US or Israeli forces that killed him.

So -- we helicopter in and snatch the leader of Venezuela and then we knock of the Supreme Leader of Iran.

Does this mean it is now open season on the leaders of every country around the world?

I bet a month's pension check that here in the good old USofA there are several people, all of them somewhat off balance with a grudge to settle, all of them own firearms, and all of them are good shots. No more missing at 120 yards with an AR15. More like three 30-caliber (or larger) rounds in a 1.5-inch circle at 500 yards.

Or what's the likelihood of somewhere in the US there are enough trained Iranians -- who came in as normal, everyday people but who are skilled in assassination, bombs, and all sorts of other exciting pursuits.
