FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a "significant terrorist act in the United States" tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.

The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C.

Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the U.S. officials.

Now what?

Obama will ask what we did to incite them and then apologize profusely while bowing to Ahmadamnnutjob.

Now, this was expected. A reversal from all the unexpected news.

The Muslim’s in office have to make it appear like they are catching Muslim’s and are fighting the war on terror. This is nothing more than show in my book.

The real fight is still bubbling under their radar ... by design is my prediction.

That's easy: More outreach. More dialogue.

Obama declares war on Iran, rallies the country behind him, nukes Tehran and wins in 2012 by a landslide?

Talk about your nightmare scenarios...

Bombs kill indiscriminately and are very bad. If there were plots being hatched to explode bombs in DC then it is a great thing that they were foiled.

But assassinating the Saudi ambassador? I'd almost consider that a favor...

—We have officialy accused Iran of an Act of War. Now what?—

That is the first place my mind went as well. This is actually huge. They didn’t say the plotters were from Iran. They said Iranian. Not good.

REally not good. I’ve said for some time our current worldwide economic crisis would almost certainly end in war just as the GD did, but I didn’t know what would be the first catalyst. This may be it. Or not...

BO’s tail waggin for sure. A little early I would think, but his poll numbers dropping like a rock so maybe he thinks he can’t wait till next October. Either that or Valerie Jarrett told him we need an October surprise and he called his buddy Eric the Holder and said to make it happen. Ol Eric is in so much trouble he figured why wait till next October,he would impress ol Barry and make it happen right away.

After pulling 100,000 troops out of Iraq, Iran’s next door neighbor?

Well, it would cost taxpayers another 100 billion or so.

This is much more serious than that. This is like burning down your house as an excuse for why you didn’t finish your homework on time.

We basically accused them of an act of war. You don’t say that kind of stuff and then go on to life as usual. Not if you are even remotely aware of how geopolotics works. Hitler learned that the hard way after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor (when he declared war on the US). It opens up possibilities for your adversary. And it opens up possibilities and requirements for you.

Nothing. It's all street theater for Mr. Holder's benefit. There will be sabre rattling, and a good deal of pounding on podiums, followed by a withering broadside of sternly worded letters, and then....(crickets).
