Petraeus`s CIA Fuels Iran Murder Plot

If Petraeus finds it useful politically to conjure up more "evidence" of nefarious Iranian behavior in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, Lebanon or Syria, he will.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, unofficial surrogate CIA spokesman, has thrown light on how the CIA under Petraeus, helped craft the screenplay for this week’s White House spy feature: the Iranian-American-used-car-salesman-Mexican-drug-cartel plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S.

In Thursday’s column, Ignatius notes that, initially, officials found the story "implausible."

War with Iran?

Hitler claimed Poland stuck first. And started WWII in Europe...

(WASHOUGAL, Wash.) - Question: Was the timing of the news release of the arrests in the alleged Iranian backed planning of bombing embassies in the USA timed to gain public support and head off pending plans by congress for deep cuts in military funding?

And/or was it at the same time was also a diversion for US Attorney General Holder's self inflicted wounds when he was, most likely, caught lying about his knowledge of U S guns going to drug cartels in Mexico?

Is Alleged Iranian Plot a `Provocation by an Outside Agency`

Media in the UK takes a closer look at this suspicious new excuse to target Iran.

(OSAKA, Japan) - “It has the ring of a far-fetched Hollywood thriller and even the senior law enforcement official involved in the investigation admitted to journalists that the alleged plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the US did not fit with what was known about the methods and practices of the supposed perpetrators, the Quds force of the Revolutionary Guards,” Julian Borger writes in the Guardian.

U.S. Playing the Saudi Envoy Game

Washington, once again, went on a labeling spree and called Iran “the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.”

(TEHRAN) - In a 'united against Iran campaign,' the US government has accused Tehran of orchestrating an assassination plot against the Saudi envoy in Washington, a move which is to be seen as part of a US stratagem to carry on with its plan of demonizing and isolating the Islamic Republic of Iran.

US Vice President Joe Biden said on "The Early Show" on Wednesday that "It's critically important that we unite the world in the isolation of and dealing with the Iranians. That's the surest way to be able to get results."

Warmongers Fabricate the `Big One`

One must ask why are these warmongers so desperate for war with Iran?

(Jamestown, RI) - The war mongers are at it once again in their attempt to bring the US to war with Iran, this time with a laughable exotic plot, blaming Iran for an alleged attack on a Saudi Ambassador.

Naturally the warmongers immediately call for war, which is just what this country needs, another endless war.

Busted! Mr. President, We Believe Iran!

Do note: Judge Napolitano says both Iraq Wars, 1991 and 2003, were based on falsified intelligence. We thank Judge Napolitano for his courageous stance and for this “accidental leak” we know he enjoyed so much.

(CINCINNATI ) - We know you have sold your soul to Israel, agreed to veto Palestinian statehood, a trade for election money. You are an idiot.

Israel is paying off both sides, as usual, as are the drug cartels. If you wonder why your Attorney General may face prosecution?

Iranian Terror Plot: Fake, Fake, Fake

By preparing the country for war with Iran, Obama will not only defang the GOP, but also appease the all-important Israel lobby, which has been beating the war drums for years.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Fake, fake, fake –

I’m talking about the latest anti-Iranian propaganda coming out of Washington, which claims the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were involved in a “plot” to take out the Saudi ambassador to the US and blow up both the Saudi and Israeli embassies.

An Iranian rival for the Guinness Book of World Records

What doesn't have the one who has spirituality? And what does have the one who doesn't have spirituality, even if he is the most famous, wealthiest and most powerful person in the world? - Sayyed Mortaza Mirseradji

(TEHRAN) - The Guinness Book of World Records is being challenged with the efforts of a determined Iranian journalist.

A new rival is slated to take the place of Guinness World Records in the near future. Sayyed Mortaza Mirseradji, Iranian researcher, journalist and essayist has registered a plan in the Islamic Republic of Iran Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to publish a book containing cultural, spiritual and moral records called "Al-Khayrat."

Uncle Sam May Want You

“The assassination of Anwar Al-Awlaki by American drone attacks is the latest of many affronts to domestic and international law.” - Vince Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

(TEHRAN ) - “We call for the Islam that was sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad (S), the Islam of jihad and sharia ruling.

Any voice that calls for this Islam, they either kill the person or the character; they kill the person by murdering or jailing them, or they kill the character by distorting their image in the media,” declared Anwar al-Awlaqi prophetically in an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic in February of 2010.

Ahmadinejad and Obama at the UN: Of Statesmanship and Political Pandering...

Has Iran produced a Statesman or a sycophant?

(BEIRUT, Lebanon) - For westerners who have watched Iran’s President Ahmadinejad up fairly close as he delivers speeches, his charisma and populist connection with the public are evident and often powerful.

Barack Obama is normally no slough either on the stump, but last week’s UN appearance by the two leaders left a Matthew 13:24-30 type image of the wheat being separated from the chaff.
