Sounds like they also intended to hit the Israeli embassy in DC.

War by proxy - sucks when it gets played against "us".

ghwk · 10-11-2011, 11:35 AM

I wouldn't be spending much time in any of the Iranian govt. offices if I were them.

An act of WAR

That's what is worrying me. This sounds like some serious ****.

Rohirrim · 10-11-2011, 11:46 AM

The question now is, was this plot for real, or did the DEA undercover officer create it, and then suck in people to play along?

DomCasual · 10-11-2011, 11:48 AM

That sounds a little ominous.

Attorney General Eric Holder, when asked how Iran would be held "accountable" in an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, said he expected action from the White House, the State Department and Treasury within the next few hours.

ant1999e · 10-11-2011, 11:56 AM

I'm not trying to hijack but this shows that we really do have a problem on the border.

alkemical · 10-11-2011, 11:58 AM

Back in '09 @ the earliest reports were coming out that MX was a bigger threat to the US than iraq.

The timing would be perfect for something like this. My money is on a false flag

The dude's been in custody for a while now. Seems to be the real deal this time.
However, it would be convenient for this to come out now to counter all the negative pressure on the Justice Dept.

It now appears that the contact in the Iranian government actually did forward $100,000 toward the scheme and they have him on tape asking, "Why isn't he dead yet?"

Things are about to get pretty dicy between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Obama: Man the drones, er, something.

elsid13 · 10-11-2011, 01:38 PM

It doesn't surprise me, it fits the tactics that the Revolution Guard uses and would be seen as insult to the US if the killed the Saudi ambassador here. I expect the seizing of funds and request to the international crimes court at the Hague.

Smiling Assassin27 · 10-11-2011, 01:40 PM

Jimmy Carter didn't respond to an act of war, why would his understudy?

p.s. Has Ron Paul commented yet? What? Our fault? Alrighty, Ron.

We did have a problem. Their people now operate freely here .

Yep.

We know the neocons and the PNAC crowd have had their sights set on Iran for a long time. They have been beating the drum since the smirking chimp's "axis of evil" speech. Hyping Iran's "nuclear threat" hasn't yielded the results they've sought, so perhaps this represents a new strategy.

Whereas your hero Saint Ron's "response" was to provide Iran with stinger missiles.

Or maybe a convenient distraction from the mess obama has us in right now. I'm sure you won't argue because you're not an obama supporter right?

Could be, but the neocons have had their sights set on Iran long before Obama came down the pike.

Many of the other items against Iran hasnt worked so there better be something with a huge bite into it. I wonder how far this goes into the Iranian government. If it was exucuted or not, this could be an act of war. I am wondering if the top of Iranian leadership gets put away, how many in the country will rejoice and accept the move? This has got to get those anti factions more pissed off now if it is as serious as it seems.

Where is Gaffney? He promised us War with Iran over a year ago. I am sure he will come in and tell us how this whole story is full of BS.
