Four Things You Need To Know About The Iran Bomb Plot

[Ichingcarpenter]

1.The assassination was never going to take place.

Tueseday FBI Director Robert Mueller described Iranian-American Mansour Arbabsiar's alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the United States as straight out of a "Hollywood script." In a sense he was right—because the plot was controlled from the beginning by the FBI. According to the criminal complaint, when Arbabsiar traveled to Mexico in May of 2011, to allegedly find an assassin from the ranks of Mexican drug cartels, he ended up talking to a paid FBI informant who dodged drug charges in exchange for cooperating with authorities. In keeping with previous sting cases, the FBI was careful to record statements from Arbabsiar dismissing the possibilty of numerous civilian casualties, something that makes an entrapment defense all but impossible to mount.

1. what's your point?

[joeybee12]

18. That this administration lies as well as the previous one...nt

[lunatica]

2. I find the timing is as coincidental as all the Color Coded warnings

Just another day of fearmongering because they want our attention on them and not on our solidarity. They can say anything and we can't prove it one way or the other. We are forced to take their word for it. Or not. But what are we going to do about it? Nothing, because we can't.

5. We Have A Winner!!!!

Very transparent.

3. Gee, another FBI sting. Will wonders never cease?

I wonder how much real crime there would be without FBI stings.

Wake up people, We are the ones keeping terrorism alive and well in the world.

14. At what point does it become entrapment?

This is becoming ridiculous.

[Firebrand Gary]

4. But you know that story sure pissed off Darrell Issa.

[ThomWV]

7. Anything that pisses off Darrell Issa has my vote.

6. Once again Hillary seems to be beating the drums of war over Iran

And I doubt that Obama would oppose her.

[leftynyc]

11. Really?

Can you quote her on that? What words did she use that SEEM to be beating the drums of war?

[MadHound]

13. Here,

"Hillary Clinton said Washington was preparing new penalties against Iran, which is already subject to a variety of international sanctions."

"This case will, I think, reinforce the well-grounded suspicions of many countries about what they're up to."

<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15269348>

The same Hillary Clinton who, in 2008, stated, "“I want the Iranians to know, if I am the president, we will attack Iran. And I want them to understand that, because it does mean that they have to look very carefully at their society, because at whatever stage of development they might be with their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."
<http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/apr2008/iran-a24.shtml>

Yes, Clinton wants war with Iran, and is now apparently using this incident with the "assassination plot" to further her agenda.

16. I wouldn't say war but

I look at as a rational for other nefarious actions that will shock and awe and of course distract what is really fucking wrong on this planet and nation.

[joeybee12]

19. She's gone over the edge, aligning herself with the neocons who

have been touching themselves over the prospect of war with Iran.

[leftynyc]

21. Sigh

She's talking about further economic sanctions and UN action. Nowhere does she talk about using our military (or anyone elses) to attack Iran. But bringing up a quote from the primaries is bound to fool some people here.

In case you were not aware and FYI- only the Commander in Chief can send the military anywhere.

8. Watching the coverage in Mexico

No, this s for real...amateurish but real.

People really need to get familiar on how paramilitaries work. And the DEA and FBI in Mexico...get up with the times, decades...specops this decade.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Something about the story just doesn't cut the mustard

Saudia Arabia, ... who I hate worse than Iran.... Iran who I can't stand and the US dept of justice/FBI/CIA. Its not a false flag but something similar.

I can't put my finger on it yet but something doesn't smell kosher

[geardaddy]

12. Does it smell halal?

I agree. It seems perfectly time to get OWS off the front page.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. The Iranian mullahs want to depose the house of saud

They see them as not pure enough.. This has been the case for decades, since the Revolution to be specific. One example if why is prince bandar who lives a pretty lose life in the west.

10. Anybody post this yet?

The “very scary” Iranian Terror plot

"To begin with, this episode continues the FBI’s record-setting undefeated streak of heroically saving us from the plots they enable. From all appearances, this is, at best, yet another spectacular “plot” hatched by some hapless loser with delusions of grandeur but without any means to put it into action except with the able assistance of the FBI, which yet again provided it through its own (paid, criminal) sources posing as Terrorist enablers."

17. Here is the opening sentences in Salon. lol

"The most difficult challenge in writing about the Iranian Terror Plot unveiled yesterday is to take it seriously enough to analyze it. Iranian Muslims in the Quds Force sending marauding bands of Mexican drug cartel assassins onto sacred American soil to commit Terrorism — against Saudi Arabia and possibly Israel — is what Bill Kristol and John Bolton would feverishly dream up while dropping acid and madly cackling at the possibility that they could get someone to believe it."

20. Is this by the same people that brought us the Osima bin Laden tapes on que?

It would seem so.
