Meanwhile, two Syrian nationals purported to be in preparations of an attack against President Obama were reportedly detained by the İstanbul police on Saturday. According to a story that was published in Sunday's Habertürk daily, the Turkish police and the CIA unearthed a plan of four individuals using fake identity cards belonging to the Al Jazeera television station to follow the US president's visit as journalists and kill Obama by throwing a knife at him during the president's Alliance of Civilizations meeting at the Çırağan Palace scheduled for tonight. Three others were being sought by the police yesterday in İstanbul, where the police have been carrying out extensive security operations to make sure that the visit passes without a hitch.

Yeah, that’ll work............

[eleni121]

Anyone actually believe a word coming out of turkey or saudi arabia?

They love the Obamanation.

[Doc91678]

Wow,guess they were going to use semi-automatic knives.
Don’t these people know that you never go to a gun fight with just a knife.
Personally, I think that this is just hype. It’s made up to make it appear that Obama is a target.

“they were captured with automatic weapons, STAMPED “purchased in American gun stores”

Bob, I’m confused, (more than usual).

Did the wanna be assassins have the guns or did the security people?

[Redgirl]

How many assassination attempts does the CIA make public? This just seems strange...

Obama is afraid we won't let him back in America after trashing us, so his handlers leaked the story.

[browardchad]

Very dramatic. Who has the film rights?

Hey! Leave me out of this please!

My post was merely satire, making fun of all the latest “Mexican Drug Cartels get 90% of their guns from America” schtick that the obamination and Hillary have hyped.

Maybe these guys were just looking to be relocated to America by the Obama. Isn't the Obama administration advertising American citizenship to any person who attempts to murder Americans? Maybe these guys thought they would receive a bigger check if they went after the head American in charge.

Okay, I was wondering if my cataracts were racing ahead of schedule.:)

STAMPED "purchased in American gun stores".

No, No, No, you've got that all wrong.

They're stamped "purchased via the Gun Show Loophole".
