Some analysts skeptical of alleged Iranian plot
CNN ^ | 10/13/11 | Reza Sayah

Washington (CNN) -- Did an elite branch of Iran's military handpick a divorced, 56-year-old Iranian-American used-car salesman from Texas to hire a hitman from a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the ambassador to Saudi Arabia by blowing up a bomb in a crowded restaurant in Washington?

U.S. officials say they are certain the bizarre plot against Ambassador Adel Jubeir was real.

But some analysts say they are not. They find it unlikely that the Iranian government, or legitimate factions within, would be involved in such a tangled plot.

I hate to have to give Imanutjob the benefit of the doubt but considering the caliber of the junta in charge here all things are possible.

Not this.

But THIS might be.

PC-Progressives are liars by profession. They cannot reveal their true beliefs. If they did, they would be run out of the country on a rail. So they lie, obfuscate, conceal. Thus, PC-Progressives take very well to official covert actions.

Covert action requires lying. The lying is officially sanctioned. The Obama administration, the most radical anti-American administration in history is immersed now in official lying—covert actions in Yemen, Pakistan, Egypt, Libya, Mexico. What will the end game be? God help us.

Eric Holder, no stranger to counter-constitutional measures is being slowly encircled by constitutional investigations. The subpoena he dreaded arrived in his office this week.

Anticipating the Fast and Furious subpoena, walls closing in around him, Holder-Obama sprung a surprise–Iran plans an attack on American soil!

A manufactured crisis leading to war is the only way out for these malefactors. Like their role model, FDR, they believe that the only way for their Keynesian economics to heal the country is to destroy it. The only atonement for America’s imagined past sins is to wash them away in blood—oceans of blood. As their castles in the air dissolve, both domestically and internationally, the only possible PC-Progressive response is to start a war—the bigger, the better.

Was there really an Iranian assassination plot?

Well, I don't know about that. But I do know that the “plot” has pushed the Holder-Gunrunner scandal off of the front pages of the newspapers.

Well, even if it didn't, it sure did eclipse the Holder subpoenas in the MSM, so Obozo and Holder figure that it's all good.

The idiots CNN listened to did not understand how this assassin gave them dependability.

Secondly, CNN could get “experts” to claim the sun will rise in the West tomorrow... and put them on the air!

There is no legitimate Iranian government, nor do they have legitimate factions.

The Iranian regime CRUSHED a popular protest some several months ago, without hesitation. A government that will not listen to the reasonable complaints of its population, after what were very questionable circumstances of a recent election, is no longer a government, they have become a regime with no regard for the subjects over whom they hold sway.

Regimes have much less legitimacy than duly constituted governments, and do not rule from moral grounds, but through force of arms and implied threats that become all too real for even minor transgressions.

Let's see, someone thinks... the Obama Crowd would overplay something to take the heat off Holder for the Subpoenas for Fast and Furious?

Why would anyone ever... think that?

Me too but I’m thinking it was quite likely Iranian political enemies of the nut job. In Iran it’s nuts all the way up.

I for one am shocked that anyone would dispute this.

"Something" happened with this Iranian whacko. But he was controlled by the FBI since at least last May/June. There was no danger, no risk, nothing special about it that demanded a five-alarm DOJ press conference. That was so over the top, to announce the Dastardly Iranian Plot as if they had just defused a ticking WMD in Manhattan with ten seconds left.

The Dastardly Iranian Plot may have been more or less real, but for sure, the timing of the Tuesday presser was designed to deflect the Pravda Press MSM over to their handy red herring.

And most of the MSM have dutifully and happily taken the bait to the decoy target, while they make nary a mention of Fast and Furious subpoenas flying.

The bait being the "Dastardly Iranian Plot". I guess that would make the MSM and their brainless beleivers "DIP"-shits? $;-)

When Saddam tried to assassinate President Bush I,
where was the big outrage

All Clinton did was shoot off a couple of cruise missiles

With the current crop of “journalists”, an illegal lemonade stand would have done the same thing.

Anyone with a half a brain knows this is another manufactured crisis in order to cover up criminal behavior by the most evil and corrupt regime ever to steal control of the US.

Well, except for the big ole RINOs like McCain and Linseed who never met a war they didn’t like and dream of being a bigwig at the top to promote.

We are to overspent on blood and money. Maybe Obozo might think a draft might cure unemployment.

God help us.
