Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday---perhaps in a bid to deflect attention from his role in the fast and Furious gunrunning scandal---that the U.S. is moving against two men tied to Iran and its terrorist arm, the Revolutionary Guard Corps and internal Qods Force. The charges stem from an alleged plot the two men were orchestrating to allegedly blow up the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington and assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. as he dined in a popular restaurant. If the plot had been carried out, scores of people would have been killed, something one of the plotters was caught on tape as disregarding cavalierly: "F---k 'em," he said.
A critical part of the puzzle was the fact that the alleged plotters turned for help to one of the most dangerous drug cartels in the world, the Mexican Zetas cartel. The plotter thought he was talking to a top drug kingpin. Instead, he was talking to a DEA informant. Whoops! That's when the plot unraveled which led to the bust of one of the men about 2 weeks ago. The other alleged plotter remains at large.
Here was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's reaction to the news yesterday:
"The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador, nobody could make that up, right?"
Is she an idiot? Or is she the worst Secretary of State ever? Maybe both.
Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has been the world's biggest state sponsor of terror. It took scores of Americans hostage at our embassy. It directed the 1983 bombing of our Marine barracks in Beirut, killing hundreds of our servicemen. It orchestrated the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 people. And over the years, Iran has directed, carried out, planned, and supplied countless other terror attacks around the world, in addition to supporting formal terror groups like al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
We also know that the Mexican drug lords are tightly associated with Islamic terror groups. The black hats always ride together.
And yet, our Secretary of State is somehow mystified about this tangled web of evil and terror.
Girlfriend, seriously? "You can't make it up?" You don't have to make it up, because it's very real. And Rodham is wandering around, navel-gazing, expressing wonderment that America's enemies work together against us.
She has cleverly flown under the radar in this job, but she really is perhaps the very worst SecState we've ever had. I not only pray we survive the Bama. I pray we survive her too.
"And yet, our Secretary of State is somehow mystified about this tangled web of evil and terror."

Ignorance, be it feigned or genuine, is the hallmark of modern/radical liberalism. Rodham is a lifelong practitioner of modern/radical liberalism. The problem is most of the electorate, to one degree or another, are supporters of the ideologies expressed in modern liberalism.

Dangerous ground, Monica. Rush Limbaugh hints it's all made up to draw attention from Eric Holder being called to testify about Fast and Furious. After long calling Mexican authorities liars and claiming it was all liberal propaganda that weapons from the US were going into Mexico, Rush has changed sides and admitted we are arming the drug cartels and it's all Obama's fault.
What the media left and right is passing over without any real comment is the fact that someone high enough in the cartel to negotiate such a deal was a US agent. You may be too young to remember, but it finally came out that so many of those radical groups of the 1960s that were supposed to be so dangerous because of violence were actually manipulated to it by infiltrated government agents. We might ask besides supplying arms, how much of the drug trade in Mexico is directed by US agents? Remember someone who accused the US of being complicit in drugs coming into the US?

The so-called "War on Drugs" could be ended in ONE DAY. Either legalize them, or end the use of cash.

In a nutshell, and as Andrew Napolitano said on FNC yesterday: "The latest terrorist plot was set up and orchestrated by OUR government." Obviously this cointel operation is the latest example being used by the war pigs that own the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) as a pretext to start a war with Iran. Of course the brainwashed masses refuse to beleive our own government could or would be so evil. But alas the masses eigerly consume what the Government Media Complex (GMC) feeds them.
Of course the GMC is the propaganda arm of the MIC. The MIC is the enforcement arm of the International Bankers.

No wonder the conservatives have a screwed up mentality of what's going on. That, plus Monica's propaganda.
The Fast and Furious", Bush had his version of GUNS WALKING. called Operation Wide Receiver.
What was a major factor of this being discovered was that man from Texas had to wire transfer 100,000 dollars overseas. He did it in 50,000 transfers. The Bank in New York took out the standard 40.00 for each transaction each time. So, the Feds caught hold of what's going on.

Going after Holder for the guns will go no where, eventually. Obama must have had his reasons- probably a matter of national security, even if a couple of the weapons were used against our own people. Would you rather have CIA operating undercover, watching danger at the border, be exposed? I am certain this was in our interest to do this.
---
Is the stock market being controlled by the banks? One must wonder, considering the manner in which it is bouncing back and forth. It is either lots of speculation, or free market investors pulling out, and the banks trying to get them to put it back in by propping it up. they must be prining lots of money, to give a tranch to the EU, and prop up the market at the same time - but the money involved in the latter alone is peanuts(probably Goldman Sachs).
Mitch McConnell, probably themost corrupt member of Congress, and an acting agent of China, was blocking the China bill with fake amendments. During this, China was actively manipulating its currency, first sending it high, and after theSenate passed the measure sent it down again, and has said it will decrease the value of its currency into the near future. In our face, provocative. This is an ongoing trade war, created by China.
At long last, it would be nice if we responded to this - even if high rollers want it to stay this way, regardless of its consequences to many people here in the US.

Huh? Are you nuts? How do you arrive at the notion that murdering our own Federal agents with guns ILLEGALLY trafficked by the ATF is somehow "in our interest"? The CIA is "watching danger at the border"??? They must be fast asleep; like you.

Blame Corporations?
Would you hire people purely out of national loyalty knowing that doing so meant your company would eventually become fiscally insolvent?
Corporations, like any business, are in business to make profits. Jobs are the byproduct of profits, not the other way around. Until U.S. corporate tax rates are cut to globally competetive levels, the corporations will outsource jobs overseas in order to make profits for their investors. Unless capital gains taxes are reduced to globally competetive levels, private capital is disincentivized to invest in America. Until Dodd Frank is repealed, small banks, which make small business loans are going to go out of business because they can’t afford to pay the armies of lawyers and accountants needed to comply with the new regulatory burdens. Unless EPA regulations are reduced to levels that allow manufacturing to become cost effective, there will be no new manufacturing. Until obamacare is repealed, businesses and corporations will not add new jobs because they have no idea what the healthcare costs will be for new hires.
You can blame big corporations all you want for shipping jobs overseas but in doing so, you’re completely missing the point that corporate decisions to ship jobs oversears are a reaction to the real problem. High tax burdens, excessive regulations and big government interference in private businesses and private industries.
