Something smells fishy
Oct. 15th, 2011 10:08 amWhat do you think of Eric Holder's recent announcement that the government of Iran has been plotting with a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington? I have difficulty believing it; it strikes me as scarcely less outlandish than Stalin's allegations of high-ranking Communists plotting with British intelligence or the German Gestapo to overthrow the Soviet government. What would Iran hope to gain by such a project? Moreover, we have the precedent of Colin Powell's assertions in 2002 that Saddam Hussein had "weapons of mass destruction", used to justify the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. There have long been people in the military and intelligence communities who are all for war, whether to justify their continued employment or as a way to power or profit. This alleged plot strikes me as too convenient, like the supposed Polish raid on a Silesian radio station in the summer of 1939 that the Germans used to justify their attack on Poland that September.
Apparently, I am not the only one who doubts the official story.
