Keystone Cops Wag The Dog (Another Smoke Screen?)

With investigations into U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s complicity in the Fast and Furious guns to Mexico criminality gaining steam, and public appetite for another U.S. war in another Mideast nation waning, President Barack Obama needed a big play.

What he got was a four-base error.

At a news conference last week announcing a thwarted assassination plot, Holder said the plot was the work of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is the guardian of Iran’s 32-year revolution, and the Quds force, its covert, operational arm, according to a (Reuters report)

“High-up officials in those (Iranian) agencies, which is an integral part of the Iranian government, were responsible for this plot,” Holder told the news conference.

If so, they must have planned it about four hours into a booze- and cocaine-fueled night of poker, because it is one of the most convoluted, pathetically inept, unprofessional hits ever concocted. A 10-year-old semi-literate could have devised a plan with a better chance of success.

The “plot,” such as it was, came to light in early summer. Press reports say President Barack Obama was briefed on it in June. The “mastermind,” an Iranian-American used-car salesman said to have a penchant for alcohol and prostitutes and described as (scatterbrained), was arrested in September. But the Obama Administration saved the announcement for the same day a Congressional investigation announced Holder was being subpoenaed over his lying testimony about Fast and Furious.

The problem for Obama and Holder is that not even their normally fawning press corps is buying the story, simply because it is so ridiculous.

Thanks for posting. Too many (most?) “conservatives” are so hot for war with Iran that they are pretending this is beyond debate.

Heads should roll for corrupting our intelligence service like this.

Something gave him about a week long bounce from -24 to -16 in the Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll. This lunacy may actually have gotten the desired result for a couple of days until the details started coming out. Obviously they should have played this harder, releasing footage showing Hllary, Holder, Napolitano, a couple of generals, some FBI and CIA looking guys, and Obama holed up under the Whitehouse in their situation room tensely watching agents take down this alcoholic, Iranian, used car salesman. It would have brought back memories of Bin Laden and may have spiked Obama’s popularity all the way to -14.

WAG THE DOG III! An exciting fairy tale about how Lord Obozo is sternly word lashing the Iranian Serial Killers of innocents.

Obozo's Iranian Buds come to help Obozo with his crashing poll numbers!

Below are some riviting scenes from 'Wag the Dog III'. Narrated by our Obozo with soundbites from the ayatollah Kameini and some hot headlines from the MSM Mediots.

Obozo, you Suck!

0bozo replies and demands severe accountability from his Iranian buds! Then, he orders Holder, and his mediot whores in the MSM to start "Wag the Dog III" 24/7!

I demand full accountabilility!"

The crack MSM mediots have learned the following about the dangerous wannabe assassin.

The really dangerous wannabe and nearly hired assassin was an unemployed Mexican used car salesman.

Unable to uncover real terror plots against the United States, Holder, his Justice Department, the FBI and CIA have taken to concocting them by rounding up ignorant dupes that they can cajole, bribe and facilitate into creating wild plots, like using Mexican drug lords — who have plenty of police officers and citizens to kill in Mexico — to assassinate ambassadors, or jihadists to fly radio-controlled airplanes filled with explosives into the Pentagon.

They should have arranged to have Big Sis' TSA clowns arrest the guy. It would then be the very first terrorist between the ages of 6 months to seventy nine they successfully thwarted.

Never thought I'd see the day when a dem story/lie was sooooooooo stupid the press wouldn't buy it.

I'm speechless. Pigs are flying.
