Iran can continually lie and get caught concerning their nuclear program. They openly call for Israel's destruction. They are and have been the leading sponsors of terror around the world for decades.

However, THIS incident is what's considered "over the top".....? Smells a bit like Gulf of Tonkin.

“Smells a bit like Gulf of Tonkin.”

You’re giving them too much credit for even knowing what the Gulf of Tonkin is.

Plus, in order to “take something off the table”, you had to have something ON the table in the first place. Maybe Dumb0 can offer to go to Iran and bore them to death the way he tries to do with us.

Maybe October surprise = war with Iran.

Remember Gen. Petreus now CIA head? I’m sure they can use his advice for cover if they decide they’d better act like patriots pre election.

Get Saudi Arabia to agree to allow the US and Israel to cross their airspace, and make a strike at the nuclear processing sites with a couple of MOAB devices detonated at about 50 feet altitude, then follow with a second wave of bunker busters. Set up and maintain a “no-fly” zone over all of Iran, keeping the Iranian air forces on the ground.

Nothing off the table?

Let’s see the options:
1: Obama announces intention to run for the position of President of Iran (or head of Rev Guards)
2: Obama sends a new letter to Iran

It’s a “wag the dog”. Israel and the USA attack Iran to shut down their nuke ambitions. Bam strengthens his Jewish relations which he’ll need for re-election. And meanwhile the American brainwashed voter will support Bam during the time of war. Only hang-up...Bam may not have the guts to do it.

I actually think this is a set up by the Iranians to provoke a military response so they can try out their new missiles on us (and Israel, of course). Why else would this Texas guy so readily confess that the Iranian government is behind the whole plot. This whole thing stinks in more ways than one.

This is F&F Wag the Dog.

The really funny part? They’re trying that baaaaaad Russian arms dealer, the guy on whom the film, “The Lord of War” was based.

You know what he did to anger the Feds? Well....ummm....he was dealing machine-guns etc. to thugs in Latin America.

The IRONY, you know? Turn that over in your mine for a minute.

And he’s ON TRIAL for that, basically the same thing that POTUS and Holder just did —at taxpayer expense.

And he wasn’t trying to undermine anyone’s Constitution.

So....Iran tries to kill a Saudi ambassador....

And the United States has to retaliate?

The Saudi's have their own means of retaliation. If they have any testicular fortitude, let them take care of their own damn problems.

Any attack on Iran will absolutely be WWIII.

This isn’t some Libyan ‘mugging’ scenario. The Syrians and the Iranians can and will shoot back.

How foolish the American people are!!! I must pat myself on the back for pointing out to the American sheeple on this very site that they go to bed every night in harm’s way placed there purposely by POTUS Obama and his ilk. Iran has no fear of the USA and laughs at us for putting that weakling, POTUS Obama in the White House. Wanna hear more, we lose Iraq, we lose Afgahnistan and we lose most of the Middle East to Muslim terrorists, just as Obama has deemed and desired. That is the truth!!! Why??? Obama is one of them, just another fully certified member of the “Muslim Brotherhood” and hater of Israel!!! How’s that hope & change working out for you, America???
