I'm sure most people have heard about this by now. But if you haven't: http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/13/world/meast/iran-saudi-plot/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 To my knowledge the motive is still unclear. In any case, this is disturbing news if it's true. Thoughts?
There's only about a 99% chance that we are lying just so we can start another war. They'll use this excuse as well as Iran having a nuke.
This! Ensure that Iran "pays the price" = We'll bomb the shit out of Iran based on baseless allegation.
Do any of you actually know anything about Middle East politics? You do know like almost every Arab country that isn't Lebanon or Palestinians really, really hate the Iranians, mostly because they're pulling shit like this, yeah? As much as I love "Durrrrrrrr oil oil oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil" circlejerk threads, you know there's that whole sectarian hatred thing, right?
Who gives a shit about Middle East politics? Let them bomb each other to hell if they want. It has nothing to do with us and we shouldn't be involved, even if we had the money to support any of them. What we're doing now is nothing but war propaganda. We've never had a legit reason to be over there. Nobody in the world poses a threat to our national defense.
Just because America conceivably could have fabricated this doesn't mean that they actually did. And I will believe Obama until evidence proves him wrong.
To be honest, what sucks is that Obama is not in charge of a whole bunch of shit, so if it's a lie that he doesn't know about, he is surrounded by corrupt dickheads with their own agenda. Really, it's either that or he is a dickhead himself.
