The Washington Post editorial board perfectly illustrate what the problem is with those too-smart-for-their-own-good Washington pseudo-intelligentsia. Their swill this mroning is entitled “Alleged assassination plot serves as a warning about Tehran<\/a>“. <\/p>\n

Yeah it serves as a warning in case you missed the kidnapping of more than 50 Americans held hostage for 444 days in 1979. It serves as a warning if you missed their imprisonment of some British sailors a few years back. It serves as a warning if you missed their kidnapping of three American hikers who were released for at least a million dollar ransom earlier this month.<\/p>\n

It serves as a warning in case you’ve missed the scores of arrests by US and Iraqi forces of Quds operatives inside Iraq. It serves as a warning if you missed the interrupted smuggling operations of weapons and explosives from Iran to Iraq. It serves as a warning if you forgot that Iran was the big safe place for Muqtada al-Sadr who commanded the Mahdi Army against US forces in Iraq.<\/p>\n

It serves as a warning if you ignored Iran’s refusal to abide by UN directives to end their nuclear weapon program. It serves as a warning if you hadn’t heard Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ‘s incessant threats against Israel, the West in general and the US in particular. It serves as a warning if you ignored the fact that Iran-funded Hezbollah is training and operating in Mexico and Venezuela.<\/p>\n

Yeah, if you missed all of those other warnings that Iran is not a good world citizen, you might just catch this latest one and arrive at the same conclusion that most of us arrived at three decades ago – the conclusion that Iran is our main enemy in the war against terrorists.<\/p>\n

But personally, I’m expecting this latest warning to sail right over the empty pointy heads of the policy makers in Washington just like the other warnings have already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
