This is front page news, right?  Along with the new-found quiet in Baghdad as a result of Bush’s surge, the one US-Based Left has been fighting tooth and nail? 

Not?  Gosh, I wonder why?

Even so, in the circles of military intelligence and power politics, this could be Earth-shaking.  It is said two ranks have the most intelligence on what is going on behind the scenes: 1) the Generals who formulate the plans and, 2) the Corporals who type the reports.  Obviously, the purported defector, Brig. Gen. Alireza Asghari, is no corporal, and may have vital information as to Iran’s capabilities and intentions.

We’ll see if the new-found intelligence is put to good use.  One thing is certain, however, the US-based Left will do their level best to discredit the General and discount any warnings he may have for us.

Just you watch.

A former high-ranking Iranian government official, Brig. Gen. Alireza Asghari, 63, has defected to the United States, Iranian exiles and other sources told Newsmax today.

Asghari had access to highly-classified intelligence information and “defected to the Americans with lots of secrets,” respected Iranian journalist Alireza Nourizadeh told Newsmax from London.

The disappearance of the former Revolutionary Guards General has created a panic in Tehran.

Gen. Asghari left Iran on an officially-sanctioned trip to Damascus, Syria, then went missing during a stop-over in Istanbul, Turkey on February 7, according to statements by Iranian government officials in Tehran.

Nourizadeh believes he had been sent to Damascus to supervise an arms deal between Iran and Syria that was signed last June during a trip to Tehran by Syria’s defense minister.

“It is possible that former deputy defense minister Asghari was kidnapped by Western intelligence services because of his Defense Ministry background,” the head of Iran’s national police, Gen. Ismail Ahmadi-Moghaddam, said in Tehran yesterday.

But Newsmax has learned from Iranian sources that Gen. Asghari’s family also managed to leave Iran just before he went missing, and that he sold his house in the Narmak area of Tehran in December.
