Why isn't this being considered an act of war? The Revolutionary Guard wants to attack within the United States. Doesn't that qualify?
Why wouldn't the Israelis or Saudis consider this an act of war?
And what does it say about our Homeland Security that this got this far along IN OUR FEDERAL CAPITAL???
update: on Fox Walid Phares just identified the Mexican Cartel involved as the Zetas. Where are those Fast and Furious Guns, Mr Holder?
update 2: WATCH THE OTHER HAND. Megyn Kelly just reported the White House knew about this in june. Wh are we finding out about it now? Why have we not done anything against Iran? And why are they trotting out Eric Holder mid-scandal to make the statement instead of DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano? (yeah, I know the answer to that already)

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. foils Iranian government terror plot to kill Saudi ambassador in D.C. and bomb Saudi and Israeli embassiesBy Daily Mail Reporter

The United States has stopped a 'significant terrorist act linked to Iran which wanted to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador in Washington DC, as well as other attacks.
The assassination of Adel Al-Jubeir would have been followed by bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington.
The plot has support from the Iranian government and two men allegedly working for 'factions of the Iranian government' have been charged with the plot, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday.
Plotters approached a U.S. informant for help killing Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir
The terror plot involved bombing the Saudi embassy in Washington D.C., seen here, after assassinating the ambassador to U.S.
The criminal complaint, unsealed on Tuesday, identifies the two alleged plotters as Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri.
The case, called Operation Red Coalition, started in May when an Iranian-American from Corpus Christi, Texas, sought help for the assassination from a Mexican drug cartel and inadvertently approached a US informant.
The FBI and DEA were involved in unravelling the plot.
The plot would have also attacked the Israel embassy, seen here

This highlights two weaknesses that have been persistent in Washington D.C. now for more than 30 years--Border Security and the lack of persuasive force in dealing with the Mullahocracy in Iran.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY this was going to be a solitary act.
NO CHANCE
This was a test run. Iran know's damn well THIS president will not actually do anything about this.
I just read a whole lot of comments on this story and could not believe what I was reading.
People think that this is a phony story. They are also saying that the US and Israel have been trying to "find something" to use as an excuse to bomb Iran.
It went on and on. It made me sick.
If this country ever ends up bombing Iran, and most especially if it is a Republican President who ends up doing it, there will be a civil war here. I guarantee it.
The number of people in this country who have their head in the sand has steadily grown since the first ME war. With the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the numbers have exploded.
They have no clue whatsoever about what is really going on, who is involved or why it is happening.
Even if Iran were to bomb us like Japan did, people here would not be willing to use the military.
Somehow these people think it is all our fault and always will be. That we will somehow deserve it. And that all will be hunky dory if we just sit down and have a chat with Iran.
Ack
This is the comment that made me want to gag:
So let me get this straight. It's okay for the US to assassinate people, citizens no less, on Yemeni soil, but it's not okay for Iranians to assassinate people on US soil? Maybe the Iranians perceived these people to be a threat to their national security. Or does that line of "reasoning" only apply when it's the US making the assertion?
I have friends who would agree with that comment.
These people have no sense of reality whatsoever.
How STUPID can you be to liken the PROPER assassination of one who has ADMITTEDLY incited, supported, thought up and carried out conspiracies to murder americans with the BOMBING of foreign embassies ANYWHERE let alone HERE?
HOW SELF LOATHING?
Someone beam me up
