Though they once again offered the American public no actual evidence as to why, a number of Congressmen and Senators appeared on Sunday news shows today to assure everyone that they believe the DC assassination plot was “very real.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D – CA) claimed President Obama informed her of the plot in early September, which is interesting since it didn’t get reported to the public until last week. She said it proved the US was on a “collision course” with Iran.
Which suits Rep. Mike Rogers (R – MI) just fine. The hawkish southern Michigan representative insisted it was important to keep the idea of attacking Iran “on the table” as a way of punishing them. Of course the US was already threatening to attack Iran on a fairly regular basis, so it is unclear how this would be a change.
Most experts are still scoffing at the plot, saying it is extremely improbable that Iran would orchestrate a terror attack by calling someone’s bumbling cousin in Texas to see if he knew any Mexican drug lords who wanted to kill a Saudi ambassador. The Iranian government likewise continues to deny any involvement.
I'd like to keep the "send Congress to prison for life" option on the table if you please.
No, that'd be too expensive, especially in these times of austerity (for some of us)…let's send them to Georgia and put them on Death Row. The prison system there doesn't care whether the evidence is good or bad – they just get off on injecting people with chemicals. Solve a lot of problems…
Other war criminals, deadly liar obomber, never elected bush/cheney, rice…Must be included; life in prison !
Fool me once,shame on you.Fool me twice,Shame on me.USG keep fooling around.you will meet your match.
Feinstein loves that war crap. War is highly profitable. For her.
the question I pose: Is America willing to sacrifice yet more of her blood and treasure on such a flimsy premise? It makes the story of Iraqi WMD seem almost plausible
German Representative: Radio Gleiwitz Attack "very real". Proves Germany is on a “collision course” with Poland.
As long as the senators and congress persons will be safe and their next of kins, they damn don't care going to war for Israel's sake (political financier). After all, those who'll die wont vote anyway, and those who'll lose their limbs and minds,will be such a low number to be of any political relevance.
Safe? I think not. They are poking the Russian Bear and the Chinese Tiger at the same time. There is no safety for anyone.. except perhaps the trillionaire banksters who no doubt have their deep underground bunkers to hide in for the rest of their ratlike lives. But then, that's all they really want anyway.. to dive around in their moneybins like Scrooge McDuck.
Stalin would have been proud of these useful idiots!
ps Perhaps that should be useless idiots.
The only thing "very real" among us plebes is that official Washington is full of bovine skatology. This is just the softening up and pre-demonization of the intended target…Iran and for the benefit of Israel.
Now suppose it were true.
We know that the US has been financing terrorist attacks in Iran for some time now via organizations such the Mujahidin al Kalq (?) and is probably also involved in the assassinations of Iranian scientists as well as "cyber" attacks on Iran. This is simply par for the course for our government which, for example, supported for decades right-wing terrorist groups in western Europe (especially Italy) that carried out bombings of their own countrymen that were blamed on "leftists" for political reasons.
Anybody surprised that we engender "Don't tread on me" resistance?
Very real????
Very funny. These are among the same people who believed in the benefits of the financial modernization act (the one that would scrapped Glass Steagall), the benefits of "free" trade pacts, that Israel is a friend and ally and that Saddam Hussein had WMD's.
Given their record for foolishness and just plain "getting it wrong," whyever should a rational person believe them now?
"Very real" as opposed to just lightly real. Or maybe not real at all. Very real is kind of like those ridiculous color coded terror threat levels they had a few years ago. Very real is like a code red, meaning that the US government has an erection that just isn't going away until they start a wr with Iran.
cuz they be liars.
If Obama wants me to believe him on this one, he needs to show me the clear evidence of the last one, which is Osama bin Laden's death photo.
If Obama wants me to believe him on this one, he needs to show me the bin Laden death shot first.
Why are you blocking me? I want my $100 donation back. Look it up.

Is this like NIE a plot (against I) to foil a new war?
There was a similar incident in 2008 just before Bush’s visit to Saudi Arabia..
Watch this provocative video which was shown repeatedly on US MSM where Iranians are threatening US naval vessels in Persian Gulf….. ‘I am coming to you’ or .’you’ll explode after 2 minutes’.
Stupid US propagandists then couldn’t envision Iranians might make their own video on that incident. When the Iranian video (as seen below) was shown on couple of US outlets the whole story quickly fizzled out.
In the above video the Iranian sailor is talking in Farsi about the GPS coordinates that shows US vessels were inside the Iranian territorial waters.
The Iranian revelation must have been very embarrassing especially the way Bush had portrayed it..
Let's unite again Americans – lets commit another genocide!
