The Washington Post reports that the Obama Administration didn’t believe at first that iran was behind the plot to assassinate the ambassador to the Saudi embassy because it was so “crudely constructed”;<\/p>\n

Although the Justice Department eventually linked the plan to Iran\u2019s elite Quds Force, almost nothing in the case bore the hallmarks of the notorious military unit that has trained and equipped terrorists and assassins around the world, the officials said.<\/p>\n

A wire transfer two months into the uncover probe–$100,000 in cash, moved in tell-tale fashion from Iranian bank accounts to an undercover agent in Mexico–finally persuaded American investigators that the assassination plan had high-level backing. And still, questions remained about who in Iran knew of the plot and at what level it was approved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems to me that “crudely constructed” would have tipped them off it was an Iranian government operation. I mean they can’t even launch some missiles without some crudely constructed photoshopped pictures. Isn’t their electric grid still powered by goats?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Washington Times<\/a> reports that Peter King is urging the Obama Administration to boot out iranian intelligence officers from this country;<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I intend to support the president\u2019s ultimate decision, I believe that he should consider expelling Iranian officials, especially known intelligence officers, from the Iranian Mission to the United Nations in New York, and the Iranian Interests Section in Washington,\u201d said Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, in a statement.<\/p>\n

Mr King said that if the terror plot \u2014 in reality an elaborate sting put together by a paid DEA informant \u2014 had succeeded, it would have been \u201can act of war\u201d by Iran against the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’ll happen. This Administration isn’t capable of mustering the testicular fortitude required for a stern gaze at our actual enemies. Now, if it was israel or England, that’d be a different story altogether.<\/p>\n

In the vicinity of the same subject, someone sent me an email that asked why we’re so outraged that Iran planned to kill a foreign citizen on our soil, yet we did the same thing in regards to bin Laden. Why is one an “act of war”, yet the other is a “gutsy call”? Just something to chew on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
