Remember all the times Obama said he could open a dialogue with Iran? Yeah, how’s that working?
(ABC News) FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a “significant terrorist act in the United States” tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.
The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C. Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the U.S. officials.
But, remember, Iran poses no threat to the USA.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in an announcement today that the plan was “conceived, sponsored and was directed from Iran” by a faction of the government and called it a “flagrant” violation of U.S. and international law.
I’m not a big conspiracy theory person (though they’re fun to bandy about), but one does have to question the timing considering all the trouble Holder is in vis a vis Fast and Furious.
Have you ever noticed with both Bush and Obama we will role out a terror plot about every few months to get the country on another topic?
Wait… what the hell does the DEA and even the FBI have to do with investigating terrorism from IRAN?!!?!?
This world is upside down? What with ICE shutting down websites and now DEA going after terrorists?!?!?!
What next.. HUD arresting fishermen for too many fish in their baskets?
Wait… what the hell does the DEA and even the FBI have to do with investigating terrorism from IRAN?!!?!?
Uhhhh…. because the terrorist act was planned to happen on US soil?
Hope Ron Paul is taking notes. He wanted to just sit down and have a little chat with all our enemies, too!
DOh.. my bad. on the FBI thing. For some reason as I was thinking IRAN, and Iran being foreign soil… CIA popped in to my head. Thus I thought it odd that the FBI was doing CIA duties.
But yes, FBI would be the appropriate entity to handle this.
But.. DEA?
