The fast and furious plot to occupy Iran

Predictably, the proverbial torrent of US “officials” came out with guns blazing, spinning everything in sight. An alarmed Pentagon will be increasing surveillance over the Quds Force and “Iran’s actions” in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf. Former US ambassadors stated that, “it’s an attack on the United States to attack this ambassador”. Washington is about to impose even more sanctions against Iran; and Washington is urgently taking the matter to the UN Security Council.

What next? A R2P (“responsibility to protect”) resolution ordering NATO to protect every House of Saud minion across the world by bombing Iran into regime change?

Ali Akbar Javanfekr, a spokesman for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at least introduced a little bit of common sense. “I think the US government is busy fabricating a new scenario and history has shown both the US government and the CIA have a lot of experience in fabricating these scenarios… I think their goal is to reach the American public. They want to take the public’s mind off the serious domestic problems they’re facing these days and scare them with fabricated problems outside the country.” Iran has not even established yet that these two characters are actually Iranian citizens.

The Iranian government - which prides itself on a logical approach to diplomacy - would have to have been inoculated with a terminal Stuxnet-style foolishness virus to behave in such a counterproductive manner, by targeting a high-profile foreign policy adviser to King Abdullah on American soil. The official Iranian news agency IRNA described the plot as “America’s new propaganda scenario” against Iran.

2. We shouldn't go into Iran even if Congress approved of a tax hike on millionaires to pay for it.

3. Yeah, then fast and furious turns into slow and serious.

Hey, does the U.S. have enough drones to prosecute another war? It certainly doesn't have enough soldiers to do so.

4. In other words - the fast and furious attempt to appear to be tough

on terrorism/enemies. It is really crazy to think that we are going into another war - what it that the 4th or 5th war we would be in when we are already overstretched to the max?

5. This certainly needs to be watched --- and Biden leading the way?

6. Iran deserves it.

I mean think about it.

You can't just declare an individual and enemy of the state and then assassinate them without any due process. This is U'merka damn it!
