Been listening to NPR talk about the "terror plot" and the more they the more
 it sounds like a BS false flag operation. What I am not hearing is why they would want to off the Suadi. How does this benefit Iran?

Cui Bono is the big question.

Can anyone here give me a reason why Iran would this guy dead?

Side note:

I thought it was the height of hypocracy the way the US governments panties are in a buch for someone "supposedly" wanting bomb someone in a foreign country. LOL

4. Doesn't add up -- official Iranian action would involve way more than 2 people. This is "underwear
 bomber" stuff - looks like an agent provocateur talked some half-wit lower level operative into some unworkable plot, and the Neocons and agency that cooked all this up are now trying to make hay. That's my initial gut feeling, anyway.

Just smells wrong. It'll go away if there's nothing more to it.

5. Yea, and why all of a sudden are we concerned about the Saudi ambassador?

I mean, the FBI wanted to question Osama's relatives after 9/11 but the Saudi Royal Family said "no" and so Bush said "no." The result? No investigation involving the family of the alleged killer.

So why are we all that concerned about this?

I thought "bullshit" when I first heard of this plot...

Besides, just how many of these "plots" are discovered daily and shrugged off as "business as usual?"

12. Maybe the U.S. should look at it's own record. Start with Mossadegh, Lumumba, Allende, Castro......
 and a long list of others who felt the benevolent hand of American foreign policy.

15. I think it has more to do with the DEA.
 Divert attention from the arms scandal in Mexico with the DEA uncovering a terrorist plot.

16. Clear out OccupyDC for "their own safety" - seems interesting that the
 police just said they could stay for 4 months when all these other cities are trying to clear them out. Perhaps they don't want to make martyrs in DC or allow it to get any more attention. So tell the cops to cool it, let them stay, show what great folks they are by not busting heads like Boston and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Then in a few days, go to them and discuss some new aspect of the Iranian terror plot that has them being personally in harms way. I mean, the news keeps saying how Iran was willing to kill 100-150 bystanders just to get this guy....

20. Could be a "Wag the Dog" against #OWS, a weapon of mass distraction. 
 TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!

Nothing you didn't already know the DUmpmonkiez would say.

Maybe Holder needed a distraction to the subpoena he was served, after all this plot was discovered early this year and just released to the public on the same day that a subpoena is served to the Attorney General? Yea quite the coincidence.

[Erasmus]

Wow, you'd think for a minute there that Bush was back in office.

[GOBUCKS]

When did Shi'a muzzies ever need a reason to kill Sunni muzzies?

Or vice versa. They hate each other as much as they hate us.

DUmmies are all over the page today.  One group thinks Nixon and LBJ conspired to create the Viet Nam war in '63 and that the whole thing is just an extension of those secret forces.  It is common knowledge the MIC actually owns both parties.  (Obie is just a pawn.  Apparently the he fell into a time warp while playing 3D chess.)

The more knowledgeable group know that it is really the Joooos who are behind all this.

It's the BATF that is the focus of GunWalker, along with Holder. Still the wag the dog idea is plausible.

If it's possible, they hate each other more than they hate us.  I say let Saudi Arabia handle it's business.

They are also all moopey over Daley giving his notice.    Icebergs are appearing more frequently an El Capitain is taking the Titanic on a high speed run.

[Duke Nukum]

Damn that Bush! Damn that BFEE!

[jukin]

Hell done froze over, I'm with the Dummy.  Mighty convenient that Fast and Furious heats up and all of a sudden Holder pulls a rabbit out of his ass. A rabbit, I might say, could have been pulled weeks ago or weeks from now.

It might have been stated upthread, but there was something on Drudge yesterday about Holder knowing this since June.  So, of course Holder is trying to "wag the dog."

The Shi'ites make sure they keep the memory alive too - anyone who is interested (and has a strong stomach) can google zanjeer matam to see how they mark the Sunnis killing Imam Husayn.

Makes you wonder what else they might be saving 'For later' that might get away from them, the same way Fast and Furious did, while they are awaiting that right political moment, dunnit?

[Erasmus]

Tough call for me on this one.  Never can trust Obama, and you sure cannot trust Ahmanutjob.

Remember how the DUmbasses claimed Dubya had bin Laden's carcass in the White House kitchen freezer, to be thawed out for political gain?

It comes down to one simple thing . . .

"It's the economy, stupid!"

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Wow, you'd think for a minute there that Bush was back in office.

Not with this economy.

[JohnnyReb]

There was LIHOP and MIHOP and now you have NITHOP by Obama.

NITHOP: Needed It To Happen On Purpose.

[Erasmus]

Not with this economy.

That was just with respect to the comments at DU.  Lord knows the economy would be better with conservatives in office.
