Eric Holder talking about it Live on CNN right now. Tune in.
What convenient timing, given this:
www.foxnews.com...
Eric Holder (and the Obama administration) is on the verge of losing his job over blatantly lying about Fast and Furious, and a day later, they foil an Iranian terror plot.
AHHH HA AHHH HAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA LMAO. They really think the US public is that stupid!

What? Iran does deals with Al-Q, under the auspices of the Quranic teachings that you never ever side with a non-Muslim against a Muslim?
You don't say. That's fascinating.
Next you'll point out some crazy thing like how Iran released ...er.... allowed to escape house arrest .... Bin Laden's family and heads in a completely surprising moment of jail break history.

Seriously though...the argument that the Quds Force only works through proxy's, but wouldn't align with a Mexican Cartel? How does that make sense? Sounds like a perfect ally for them? Hmmm
It doesn't make sense that they would put their billion dollar business in jeopardy, and possibly bring the Mexican and U.S. military down on them hard, for 1.5 million bucks, that's chump change to them. Also, the Zetas don't even use bombs in Mexico, that would be a HUGE escalation for them on their own soil, much less the super power next door that they have been very careful not to let their violence spill into up to this point. And what about this used car salesman Iran was allegedly using, that wasn't a religious zealot or Iranian patriot, and besides money would have no reason to orchestrate this? Doesn't make sense, and on top of that, if they actually carried it out, it would come across as VERY suspect that the cartels would assassinate a Saudi official on U.S. soil. Not a great way to remove suspicion of an outside party.

Please refer to the United Kingdom as the United Kingdom and not as England.
Or would you prefer I refer to the United States as Texas all the time?

Maybe you don't already know that Operation Fast and Furious was intentional to put arms in the hands of the Sinaloa cartel to fight the Zeta cartel off from trying to take over the Mexican government. They know our government is already helping the enemy to fight them.

Did you even read the information in the report that was presented to Congress?
" Attention to the longstanding ties between top Iranian officials and al-Qa'ida leaders, including Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has been eschewed by a pervasive fundamental attribution error: ``Shiite Iran will not work with Sunni militants comprising the ranks of al-Qa'ida.'' This assessment fully ignores readily available evidence to the contrary. Indeed, such relationships span back to the early 1990s, when top officials from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps' clandestine Qods Force, working in concert with Iran's chief global terrorist proxy, Lebanese Hizballah, began training and equipping bin Laden's warriors. Then, following the 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans, more evidence surfaced of operational linkages between al-Qa'ida and the Qods Force, an official Iranian paramilitary organization which possesses a mandate from Iran's Supreme Leader to fund, train, and equip Islamist terrorists. These very operational linkages are referenced within the 9/11 Commission Report, whose authors acknowledged the relationship between al-Qa'ida and Iran demonstrates that Sunni-Shiite divisions ``did not necessarily pose an insurmountable barrier to cooperation in terrorist operations.''

If that were all true, seems to me Holder would be in some real deep doodoo for lying under oath and arming drug cartels.
I agreed with you and was adding to your point. In a sarcastic way.
Iran has been dealing with Al-Q, and Hezbollah has been dealing with Al-Q, and Al-Q has cells from China to Tunisia.

Anyone else notice we already have Iran surrounded. We occupy Iraq on Iran's Western border, and Afghanistan and Pakistan on Iran's Eastern Border. IMO i think we invaded those countries first so once we could justify an attack on Iran we would be forcing them to fight on two fronts diving Iran's forces greatly weakening them. This is similar to what happened to Germany in WWII. Fighting the U.S. in the West and the Russians in the east.
