U.S. Can't Let Iran Get A Nuke

A mere moment or two after the Obama administration announced it had discovered and thwarted a plot by Iran to murder Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States by bombing a Washington restaurant, the doubters started to air their doubts. Columnists and experts, even some columnists who were not experts, said the Iranians would never be so sloppy as to commit a virtual act of war by setting off a bomb in the nation's capital. The plot was crazy, they said. I agree. But so is Iran.

It's not as if the Iranian intelligence services, particularly the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, usually operate deftly and leave no fingerprints. This is a regime that commenced what amounts to mass murder soon after it came to power. It executed its opponents but also its critics. It even went after exiled Iranians. In 1991, it murdered the former prime minister, Shapour Bakhtiar, in Paris. He was stabbed to death — how's that for sloppy? — and in 2010, when France freed one of Bakhtiar's killers, he was given a hero's welcome in Tehran.

Iran was blamed by Argentine prosecutors for the 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish center that killed 85 and wounded at least 300. It has been implicated in the 1996 bombing of a housing complex in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 U.S. airmen and wounded another 372 people. It is the chief sponsor of both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Both are terrorist organizations that Iran has used as proxies.

Look at the bright side of all but the Embassy guards being deployed out of Iraq, The Israeli’s would have nothing in their way of airspace restrictions to wake up Achmadinejahd at 3:00 AM.

U.S. Can't Let Iran Get A Nuke

So why are they going to get it then, because we can't stop them or because we don't care?

Or, let me guess, I'm crazy for even thinking they have a chance for ever getting one....

I believe it’s too late.

But Islamic Supremacy is OK, especially in ‘Arab Spring’ countries, like Tunisia.

This was a smoke screen to cover Eric Holder(F&F).

Obama reasoning: he figures the first nuke they get will be used on Tel Avivi. Then theniranians will have no nukes.

See how simple that is.

I'm looking forward to seeing the eventual posts that this whole "plot" was actually a plan by Israel to try to align Saudi Arabia and the US against poor, innocent Iran, to keep them from developing nuclear power for peaceful use.
