The question is, “Why now?””
If you believe the story is NOT made up, then the “why now” should be asked of the Iranians.
No, because our enemies, such as the Iranians, are ALWAYS plotting. Any day of the week we could point the finger at them and hit a plot.
The question is why is the current administration focusing on this now?
The answer is: politics.
Obammie the Commie’s poll numbers are in the dumps.
The economy is tanking.
Scandals are popping out left and right.
His attorney general may well be tried and convicted of perjury.
And Hillary needs a situation like this to shift attention back to her, in case the DNC decides to replace Obama or Biden to make the 2012 ticket more electable.
