Eric Holder should be fired over such recklessness – baffles the world with his bullshit, global community says “WTF”?
[cb editor: as Eric Holder’s “foiled plot” fades into the ether one has to ponder WTF? How it is that the Obama administration has given the plot little more thought than media grand standing, when in fact, had the allegations had any substance we would be staring at an incident that stands on par with the attacks on the trade towers – which launched the US into two wars, one that is now the longest running in US history. Mr. President, a bit of advice, fire that dumb-shit Eric Holder, you’ll be doing the world a favor. And while your at it could you get rid of Hillary? …all that running around and so little result, another WTF? Holder’s “plot” seems to have stumped even the Iranians. They best they can can up with is it must be some sort of diversion???]

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Wednesday sought to reconcile what it said was solid evidence of an Iranian plot to murder Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States with a wave of skepticism from some foreign leaders and outside experts. Senior American officials themselves were struggling to explain why the Quds Force, an elite international operations unit within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, would orchestrate such a risky attack in so amateurish a manner.

“It would be our assessment that this kind of operation would have been discussed at the highest levels of the regime,” said a senior American official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the government’s analysis. American officials offered no specific evidence linking the plot to Iran’s most senior leaders. But they said it was inconceivable in Iran’s hierarchy that the leader of the shadowy Quds Force, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, was not directly involved, and that the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was not aware of such a plan.
Iran’s leaders marshaled a furious formal rejection Wednesday of the American accusations, calling the case a cynical fabrication meant to vilify Iran and distract Americans from their severe economic problems, highlighted by the Occupy Wall Street movement. A senior member of Iran’s Parliament, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said he had “no doubt this is a new American-Zionist plot to divert the public opinion from the crisis Obama is grappling with.” …more
