But the timing of this is so strange with Holder being in a Firestorm surrounding that Fast & Furious gun scandal.

Did they know about this Iranian thing in secret and release it to take attention away from the gun scandal??

Tail wagging the dog made??? I guess I'm jaded with this Chicago style administration......



Yes, very strange.

Especially after you hear all the people that have been around him.

Wrong. The burden of proof is on the people claiming that how it has been reported is incorrect. They are the ones that need to provide evidence showing a different reality.

As for the timing, quite frankly, why is the timing supposed to good? Something like this, would be better timed next year, ELECTION year, to boost Obama in the polls. Holder is appointed. He doesn't rely on public perception to remain in office.

How funny would it be if we turned the whole "false flag" argument on it's ear to explain away every ill-conceived or botched action or failure by the US government?

Hurricane Katrina and Bush response? Russian weathermachine, dikes blown up by Al Queda.
Failed Iranian hostage rescue? never happened, false flag by Iran
No WMD's in Iraq? Yes there were, smuggled out by Iran to damage our reputation and rally the middle east.

Iran and the US have been engaged in terror attacks and many other covert actions....quite heavily in recent years. This one isn't exactly shocking. You know we have been using computer viruses and even backed some insurgent car bomb detonations in Iran recently?

Have our local white pride types stated the obvious "Israel is really behind the plot to try to get us to jack up Iran for them" assertion yet? Rense.com is already probably starting in on that line of thinking.

Most of you are probably too young or not from the midwest to remember this guy.....

Jeff Fort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note where he was eventually busted for working with Lybia to commit terror attacks?

Just a little history lesson guys, this was a while before Lybia committed the Lockerbie bombing.

Like Obama's Jobs Bill, I feel this is another red herring, designed to do nothing more than provoke a response-

Foreign Policy - If you are going to attack a target in the United States, wouldn't you send your A Team, instead of Mr. Magoo?
Hence the growing skepticism, including the possibility that this might be some sort of "false flag" operation by whatever groups or countries might benefit from further deterioration in U.S.-Iranian relations. If the Obama administration can't back up their allegations in a convincing way, they are going to face a diplomatic backlash and they are going to look like the Keystone Cops.

Here's a just reported profile of the Iranian "Lex Luthor"..lol

What an inept, loser. Just the type of fellow the FBI would love to entrap in one of their plots to make themselves look good, while giving the Obama Administration/neocons a chance to demonize Iran.

Are you starting to understand how devious our government is when it comes to hyping fale threats designed to change public opinion?

So Iran was going after the Saudi Ambassador and it's the US saying "they will pay a price" ?
Where is the Saudi outrage in all this ? Is the US now surrogate "bad guy" for all the countries now ?
Someone from some other country gets threatened and the US flexes it's muscles ?

Got to keep that war machine humming at any price and for any threat.
