FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a “significant terrorist act in the United States” tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today. The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States.

“The U.S. is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions,” Holder said.
Doesn’t that “holding Iran accountable” thing mean we’re going to war? Come on now. We’ve gone to war before over less!
Not just Obama. The Pentagon needs a new theater of war to waste hundreds of billions of dollars in. It seems to be an established policy (if not a solid rule), to start a new war somewhere, well before winding down an older one. Ever since the so-called “Peace Dividend”, we were suppose to get by leaving eastern Europe to defend themselves from Russian invasion, didn’t actually happen. The US has been jumping into one hot spot after another. As if everyone’s internal wars, are our concern too. The US military brass has been benefiting from that excuse, ever since Vietnam. And then claiming the latest conflict is nothing like Vietnam. Yeah, the terrain is different. But it’s still all a pointless attempt at nation building. For a people who don’t want the US’ idea of a nation.
But the real reason, the US military is anywhere, is to do with mineral wealth control. Afghanistan may not have oil wells. But they’ve got rare earths in those mountains. Things their goat herding population will never mine. Some American-UK-Dutch conglomerate will. Just as soon as it’s made safe enough.
This potential new war with Iran has been in the works for a while now. I recall it started during Dick Cheney’s presidency. But they have to spread these wars out over several administrations. Or it’ll look suspicious. So Biden-Clinton are getting the ball rolling, eh? Are we officially done with Iraq now?
Do you dismiss this plot as being a US gov lie, a misunderstanding or a don’t care?
This plot is total BS.
I thought the DEA busted cowboys and others who were not paying their cut to deal drugs.
Where is The mighty Homeland security?
I hope they searched this guys shoes, xrayed his laptop and luggage.
Why is it BS?
The DEA is involved because the informant was associated with Mexican drug trafficking groups.
