This are getting strange when America's great enemy is a used car salesman in Texas.

And why do they keep calling this a "Terrorist" plot? Seems like anything that involves Islam that America doesn't like is "Terrorist".

@brianluce "America"? The US Federal Government, you mean? Not everyone who lives here is happy with the government bullshit. I can't even watch anything to do with the presidential candidates because it all makes me feel so sick to my stomach. Really, it does. They're all so full of bullshit, and it is so obvious! None of them are going to do anything to upset the status quo, the powers as they stand, which is the problem.

>how about we call it *The Thing*

It looks more like tumor :-)

@Aria , you shouldn't be too trusting in Mr. Obama, or his masters.

For a detailed analysis of way this situation has been manufactured by the US Government to serve its political agenda, read Glenn Greenwald's article at Salon.com:

This article in the Christian Science Monitor gives some reasons why the "plot", if true, would be out of character for Iran:

It seems to me like the USA is warming up for some sort of military operation in the region and they want a pretext for political reasons.

I agree with Woody, this is a wag the dog scenario. This "plot" was known months ago. It's only being released now for political reasons. Barry and just about his entire cabinet are in a lot of trouble over Fast and Furious, the Solyndra fiasco, and who knows what else. Their willing accomplices in the media are even starting to crack under all this weight. I doubt the State Controlled media will do the right thing though, since Barry is their man.

The other fun one I remember from high school was a book called "Lies my Teacher Told Me", which rips apart a bunch of historical bullcrap thats in most public school history books. Did you know Christopher Columbus was pretty much the smelliest dickwad to set foot on this continent, enslaving most anything on two legs? Did you know that Helen Keller actually had a life after she learned sign language and grew up? She was a ver active socialist, suffragist, pacifist, and helped found the ACLU?

Looking at the latest Sirte (called Libyan Stalingrad now) and Tripoli news other version could be that goverment just want people to be distracted on anything. Even if it looks stupid.

I've found you can't really convince people that watch mass media networks of anything regarding just about anything. I stopped talking about the fundamental system problems that seemed common-sense to me, and the endless hypocrisy present in every nation, state, and village in the halfway civilized world.

But it's always interesting to talk with others who have unique perspectives on such things.

I still think our technology is becoming too advanced for us. Our minds cannot handle information overload from television propaganda, school indoctrination, bad parenting and self guilt.

I'm not even sure exactly what this thread is about but I surmised it had something to do with some type of conspiracy/corruption/injustice... i.e. likely some topic of substance or value stated with passion, and I respect and admire that.

I'll have to hang around here more often seems like some interesting conversation happens.

I'm a U.S. Iraq veteran, and I view my military experience as more of an embarrassing learning experience than anything else. I am not a patriot, I have denounced nationalism in all forms.

My two cents sum up as... I spent so much time being angry because I thought things were not the way they should be, it was just very self destructive and unhealthy for me.

For a couple years I couldn't stop myself from reading every single conspiracy that could ever possibly be possible, from the Anunnaki, to 9/11 (which is not a conspiracy as far as I'm concerned because I'm sure everyone just accepts it was a cowardly hoax anyway, or are just in complete denial, which is also likely) to what we're really doing on the moon, structures on mars, reptilians from alternate dimensions, I'm pretty sure I've heard most of it all.

And as fascinating as I find all of those things in possibility, I realized it was really doing nothing for me but making me unhappy.

To conclude, I pretty much believe anything is possible, have no political affiliation and probably never will, have no interest in hurting people or taking advantage of anything.

I do want to make music videos and films though, that's pretty much all I'm about now.

Great forum by the way Vitaliy. I don't know what you're about but you seem like a reasonable person, and that's better than being unreasonable in my opinion. I like the random updates about world events, a lot of it I don't follow or see so it's always cool to get that perspective.

American TV is the best in the world only second to BBC.
