The Iranians Did What?!?!

[Kirk Freeman]

Doing wet work in the CONUS? Going to get even for the '87 Mecca Incident . . . in the United States of America?

With the FBI watching everyone like a hawk?

Real solid fieldcraft, guys.

Mr. Holder said the Mexican government had been instrumental in the investigation.

Iran reacted immediately to the news, calling the accusations a fabrication.

Details offered by the Justice Department painted a picture of a dizzying international plot involving Mexican drug cartels, murder for hire and huge sums of money being transferred from unknown locations.

Mexican drug cartels, confidential informations, [/STRIKE]Mexican government?

How deeply was the BATFE involved in [STRIKE]Initiating[/STRIKE] investigating this?

 

[ATOMonkey]

The easiest mystery to solve is the one you write.

 

[ZombieApocolypse]

Gotta make Holder look good somehow. And the timing is impeccable!

You guys are starting to sound like conspiracy theorists.

UGH, i forgot my .... much better.


But seriously .... this couldnt have been played out better in a movie. Not to mention they said the people planned on "bombing" the envoy or whatever .... Im curious what kinda "bombs" they were going to use

The real question is how many more freedoms are we going to lose over this?

 

[mrjarrell]

Isn't Issa supposed to issue some subpoenas in the next day or two? The timing of this is interesting, to say the least.

I would say nothing will change. This incident is a couple months gone; it's being released to take pressure off the Attorney General and it's also part of ongoing security operations.

I would say nothing will change. This incident is [STRIKE]a couple months gone[/STRIKE] totally made up; it's being released to take pressure off the Attorney General and it's also part of [STRIKE]ongoing security operations[/STRIKE] the usual ramp-up to losing a little more of our freedoms.

There. FIFY

[WWIIIDefender]

So some american/Iranian hired the mexican drug cartel to perform a hit on the saudi embassidor inside the united states with a perfect money trail leading back to the Irainian government. Wow you got all the perfect parts right there, and the timing oh the timing.

 

[ultraspec]

I knew it was a matter of time before someone from the gov figured out a way to go into Iran

 

[rambone]

Sounds like an act of war/terrorism/treason/etc. Lets execute them all without trials... yeehaw..

Oh and build up more public support for war with Iran. We need that too.

/sarcasm

No, you didn't fix it for me. I wrote what I intended to write and I don't agree with your conclusions.

Because people who are not citizens of the U.S. and or/ is a citizen helping foreign Govt plot attacks on U.S. soil deserves a trial.

Let's all sing Kumbaya, hold hands and roast marshmallows.

I would think that with everything goin on in the US, even an Iranian would be smart enough to know there are many other, countries to try to off this Saudi Ambassador. Combine that with the timing this was "released," (as stated before) the PERFECT money trail, the fact i ahvent heard about the "bombs" they were going to use being recovered, Is there actually anything in this story that makes sense? Do they even have a reason why Iran would want this guy dead?

I'm not saying it doesn't smell fishy I'm saying people dismiss Iran like we go to the bar and have drinks with them and they cover the tab for us.

Yeah, right, exactly. Lets burn all the terror suspects at the stake, and roast marshmallows at the pyre. The less due process, the better.

And we determine that a citizen meets those criteria how? Last I heard there was a procedure, required by law, to determine whether a citizen meets that criteria.

Can't seem to remember the name of it though. Vial? Smile? Oh, that is right, I think they call it a "trial". I distinctly recall it not being called "executive order".

Best,
