Are we really supposed to believe that a car salesman from Corpus Christi,Texas, a gammon member of the Zetas Mexican drug cartel and someone from the Qods force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps together hatched a plot to blow up a Saudi diplomat on US soil?
That they were to finance this with an open transfer of money through a New York bank and the promise of "tons of opium" from a soon-to-be liberated Afghanistan?
Is Operation Red Coalition a red herring?
Who is it, really, who stands to gain from all this nonsense?

(halduell: While I was composing my post, you've beaten me to the punch. However, I'll put mine up anyway ...)

Even the most dutiful of US mainstream media propaganda channels are shaking their heads over this one, and wondering how on earth to report the whole thing with a straight face.

It’s so blatantly ridiculous that some elite Iranian spook squad would be dumb enough to employ a locally well-known, successful Iranian US citizen to contract out a hit to the 100% US-infiltrated Mexican Mafia (What? No suicide bombers available that weekend??), using totally traceable money wires from Iran to the US, for the purpose of assassinating someone who is of no particular significance to Iran or anyone else for that matter.

And, of course, after a week of ... ahem ... ‘questioning’, the businessman breaks down and confesses that they didn’t care if they killed lots of US citizens as well (Is that loud villain cackling I hear?) – how awfully Homeland Security script-friendly of him!

If it weren’t for the fact that this is another point along the propaganda continuum to turn Tehran into another bombed-out, wartorn Baghdad/Kabul/Tripoli/Sirte, it would be pathetic.

"The Heritage Foundation Counterterrorism Task Force" in its official capacity issued.....WTF??

Given that the Iranian regime deny this allegation, we have only the word or the US officials that Iran is indeed involved in what would seem a somewhat unlikely plot. But or course US officials have never lied to us before ....

Lets look at your advice from the opposite angle.

Iran accuses the US of funding and supporting Jundulla, MEK and other terrorist organisations, (or freedom fighting guerrillas if you prefer), operating within Iran. These organisations have even claimed responsibility for attacks on the Iranian president.

If the US, based on its own version of events, is justified in responding to Iran as you suggest, is not Iran entitled to do the same?

In short should Iran:
1. conduct a proportional military response against suitable, feasible, and acceptable targets in th US
2. push other concerned countries to enforce targeted sanctions
3. Target public diplomacy to expose the regime's human rights abuses.Such a campaign should document the abuses of torture victims, drone attacks and renditions
4. Reduce the US's meddling in Iraq

Never support a line of action you wouldn't want pursued if the shoe was on the other foot.

No doubt the Iranians require freedom from religion and it's associated misanthropic regime.

No doubt the west wants it's oil.

No doubt Zimbabweans require freedom from it's psychotic Mugabe.

No doubt Zimbabwe doesn't have oil.

No doubt who will be 'liberated' first

Sorry we no longer believe the lies.http://www.ae911truth.org/ Iraq was a lie,along with Afghanistan,Pakistan,Libya and now attempts to demonise Iran.

Their own CIA say that Iran is no threat.http://patriotsquestion911.com/

Great steps but we have to extremely careful about imposing harsh judgment without giving the suspects benefits of doubts, if there is any and honestly show the evidences before the World, so that these blind heads will follow the upcoming trend of peaceful surrendering of power to be set, beginning with Syrian ruler-ship.



It must be a fool who pulled the trigger that killed Gaddafi but the advisers were surely terrorist-minded Libyans: the 'wanna be heads of power'-freedom fighting guys, who eventually, at least on a very personal level will face same or similar justice either by the CC (cosmic Creator) or indirectly through other creations. Examples are in the historical events of all killed (internal or external suffering ended) or still alive but suffering from conscience (Protected by man-made laws) leaders starting from the East to West (e.g. India to US).
If 'we-the good part of the West' could become fast enough to already declare amnesty for Gaddafi, then we could bring the leadership-hungry bad Libyans under justice now and donate Gaddafi's oil-money to secured UN funds to peacefully remove many bad ruler-ships and convince the world how great is the West.

However, we shall still have more opportunities in the near future, therefore, no-one to be blamed, as ultimate reality is at the whim of playful Cosmic Creator beyond human understanding or judgment of being right and wrong.

But the creations that become killer of other creations shall not be spared of crimes of direct killings; and the game of "Bacteria and Anti-Bacteria @ 50% rule" to be continued forever.
Now what will be happening is: Libyan cruel guys will start fighting or killing each-other soon and then, when we honestly will help the isolated portions of the Global Public to non-violently get rid of fake Tigers, our role will be silently noticed and welcome with wide open arms not only in some Countries but in a few Continents.
