WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee says the alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States may be an act of war against the U.S.
Sen. Carl Levin says he wants to study the implications of using the term before deciding it applies. But the Michigan Democrat said the alleged scheme might be an act of war, and was certainly a serious threat to the U.S.
Levin told reporters that either way, there should be a serious response by the U.S. He declined to say what that response might be.

Well, ole’ Karl better just ‘jimmy-up’ with some desert boots a kevlar helmet and an M-4 and just jump on over there and kick their azz then.....he’s an effing idiot.
Everything about this “plot” smells like a provocation, and when a hardcore appeaser like Carl Levin starts beating the war drum the stench mounts.
Yeah...but Iran is supporting the wall street protesters.
Perhaps Carl, but since you and the CIC have no clue how to execute that responsiblity, let’s wait until the grownups are back in charge.
Well, duh. This wouldn’t be the first time a failing gummint wagged the dog.
Karl levin is a hard core communist....anything he says, the opposite is what is best for the country...although lake iran is an interesting thought.........
Sure, so was taking over the American Embassy in Tehran 32 years ago, but we’re still waiting....
So what does he suggest we do about it?

It is always incredible how gung ho & warlike & almost PATRIOTIC the RAT bastard dimturds sound like when they are the ruling party. But as soon as a Repub becomes president, than all of a sudden the DimTurds become raging pacifists and will lie, cheat, smear a Republican president over any military action that might be called for. Just like John Effn Kerry, in 1998 he is recorded on one of the Sunday political interviews as calling for a military action & removal of Saddam Hussein, and he puffs up his chest and declares that "He is the leader of the Senate in terms of calling for Saddam Hussein's removal from power". And yet 6 yrs later in the 2004 election, he rages against GW Bush for going into Iraq and removing Saddam Husseing from power. And as always, GW Bush allows John Effn Kerry & the demoRATs to pound away at him, rather than hammering back even harder with Kerry's two faced hypocrisy.
Even now, it is too bad that the Republicans just refuse to mock or scourge 0dumb0 and the demoRAT bastards for the wars that they are sucking us into.
I wish I had supernatural power (like Moses) to inflict plagues of lice, frogs, blood, boils, even d__th upon the demoRAT turds and their families!
Well if Iran committed an act of war against the US, then the Mexican Drug Cartels that were going to carry out the attack, must have also committed an Act of War against the US. That gives Obama the justification to eradicate all the Mexican Drug Cartel members that were involved in his illegal gun walking. Dead men tell no tales. So will he send drones into Mexico ?
Also, with the Green Technology Bubble collapsing, a war is the only option left to stimulate tax collection.
Bomb Iran regardless of who’s in office. Go for it. It’s going to happen sooner or later anyway.
