I don't believe the plot was false.
I also won't accept this guy's statements since he's a FORMER CIA guy, ie out of the loop and only guessing that it's false with zero facts about the actual plot that was stopped.

I'm pretty sure Iran is behind this one. I've been studying and researching Iran for two years now. Ahmadinejad is in a sad state right now.
Do some research on how Khamenei and Ahmadinejad both think that their Muslim Messiah (the Mahdi) is going to return in their lifetimes.

Do you think this may have something to do with it?
The Obama administration formally notified Congress yesterday that it is to sell $60bn of weapons to Saudi Arabia, a move designed to boost the US arms industry and help counter growing Iranian power. This deal was brokered last month, apparently
I suppose it could have, but if the government did a 60 billion weapons deal with every country in the world tomorrow it wouldn't scratch the surface of the national debt.
The United Arab Emirates confirmed on Sunday that it had hired a company run by Erik Prince, the billionaire founder of Blackwater Worldwide, to provide “operational, planning and training support” to its military. But it gave no details of the company’s project to build a foreign mercenary battalion for the Emirati government.

A subsidiary of the British insurer Lloyd's of London Thursday sued the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, several of its government agencies and banks, and a handful of prominent individuals in U.S. District Court in Johnsdown, saying they are liable for the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks.

This article proved nothing. It was a long drawn out opinionated article that failed to bring any facts to back up the claims. Why are so many people so easily moved to follow an opinion with no facts? Ignorance? Mentally weak? I'm not saying some of the allegations may not be true but why do so many people follow something with no facts while jumping up and down like it's a huge fact find... I really don't get you people. I believe in conspriacy to a degree but lately I'm beginning to think most of you have a mental illness because you so easily will believe anything anyone says..edit on 13-10-2011 by libertytoall because: (no reason given)
That's not to say it didn't happen," Ignatius added. But the tale of a Iranian-born U.S. citizen living in Texas reaching out to a man he thought was with a Mexican drug cartel (who turned out to be a paid informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration) and trying to arrange the bombing of the ambassador, is "extremely unusual and sloppy ... tradecraft" and isn't how Iran's spy agencies usually work.
His comments echo those of former White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke, who said on All Things Considered earlier this week that the "really strange plot" isn't the way Iran's "very professional" spies normally go about their business.

The former operative is a primary source of information, I could quote him legitamatley in a college research paper and source him as a primary source, the lack of facts is not the case, the abundance of information presented by a respected professional in the field is definatley there his "opinions" used to make powerful men and woman make powerful decisions that we may never know about.

4. This plot was foiled in September!! Perfect timing for this Mafia Adminstration to release this foiled plot when Holder and Obama are on the hot seat for "Fast and Furious". Manipulate the attention of the American people with somethin BIGGER and the zombies will soon forget that our government supports murderous drug cartels.

I agree that Ahmadinejad's home support is waivering but where did you get all your info on Iran?
Have you been to Iran in your 2 yrs study to facilitate your research?
Have you spoken to Iranians both living in and expatriate from Iran?
Do some research on how Khamenei and Ahmadinejad both think that their Muslim Messiah (the Mahdi) is going to return in their lifetimes.
My own research tells me that the Mahdi of which you speak is the 12th Imam to the religeon of Islam. All are said to be direct blood descendents of the Prophet Muhammad. The other 11 were murdered. The return of Al Mahdi to this Earth is to the Muslims like the return of Jesus Christ to the Christians, nothing else. So what of it? Why should we in the West be concerned if they believe this? That is nothing unusual for a Shiite Muslim to believe in.
There is nothing in Al Quran which states that the state of Israel must be destroyed to facilitate Al Mahdis return. My research made me learn the many differences and beliefs between Sunni, Kufi and Shiite Muslims.
Ahmedinajad has been constantly mis-quoted since his "remove Israel from the map of the middle east" speech. He was talking about the reunification of Palestine and not about flattening Israel with nukes, but our dear news agencies spun it to suit the Zionist agenda and we all lapped it up with the Kool-aid.
I respect your views and commend you on your efforts in research but do not agree in your conclusion that Iran is to blame here. If the assassination attempt were successful, do you honestly think the people of Iran would have been out in the streets celebrating, thus bolstering Ahmedinajads home support?
PEACE,
