The problem with the pseudo-intelligentsia
The Washington Post editorial board perfectly illustrate what the problem is with those too-smart-for-their-own-good Washington pseudo-intelligentsia. Their swill this mroning is entitled “Alleged assassination plot serves as a warning about Tehran“.
Yeah it serves as a warning in case you missed the kidnapping of more than 50 Americans held hostage for 444 days in 1979. It serves as a warning if you missed their imprisonment of some British sailors a few years back. It serves as a warning if you missed their kidnapping of three American hikers who were released for at least a million dollar ransom earlier this month.
It serves as a warning in case you’ve missed the scores of arrests by US and Iraqi forces of Quds operatives inside Iraq. It serves as a warning if you missed the interrupted smuggling operations of weapons and explosives from Iran to Iraq. It serves as a warning if you forgot that Iran was the big safe place for Muqtada al-Sadr who commanded the Mahdi Army against US forces in Iraq.
It serves as a warning if you ignored Iran’s refusal to abide by UN directives to end their nuclear weapon program. It serves as a warning if you hadn’t heard Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ‘s incessant threats against Israel, the West in general and the US in particular. It serves as a warning if you ignored the fact that Iran-funded Hezbollah is training and operating in Mexico and Venezuela.
Yeah, if you missed all of those other warnings that Iran is not a good world citizen, you might just catch this latest one and arrive at the same conclusion that most of us arrived at three decades ago – the conclusion that Iran is our main enemy in the war against terrorists.
But personally, I’m expecting this latest warning to sail right over the empty pointy heads of the policy makers in Washington just like the other warnings have already.

Over 30 years and they’re JUST NOW figuring out the Iranians are bad guys? WTF?
While you’re at it, Jonn, tack on anything and everything Hezbolla has done since 1979 on the Iranian charge sheet: Beirut, Palis, etc. The loopy leftists loved to claim that Bush was a terrorist. You want to see terror as an instrument of foreign policy, assholes? Look at Tehran.
And oh yeah–let’s not forget to thank none other than Jimmuh the Peanut for helping to give rise to Iran in its present form. The Shah was an asshole, to be sure, but at least he never would have done the shit the Ayatollahs have done. Oh, and let’s not forget that because some guy–Saddam Hussein I think was his name–attacked Iran in 1980 because of his fear of what Iran was back then, etc., etc., etc…
And so it goes.
Gee, ya think maybe, just maybe, Ron Paul will be reconsidering his August 2011 suggestion that Iran should be allowed to have a nuclear bomb? No, me either.
I’d be more than happy to provide Terhan with a whole Trident missile MIRV equipment section. 😉
No, the WaPo’s owners and editor are not just figuring out Iran’s malevolence. Their task is to support Obama, and Obama needs a heavy-duty war to distract America. Once a Republican is the POTUS, the WaPo will return to be Iran’s greatest friend in the West.
Iran is just an evil country filled with bad people who despise us for no reason whatsoever. How did it take the morons over at WaPo 32 years to figure this out its been obvious all this time?
Jonn, you have to submit your post to the WP.
Nice to see WaPo finally wake up eh?
“If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, the infidel’s moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him.” Ruhollah Khomeini, 1984.
Since its founding as an Islamic Republic its goal has always been the overthrow of Democracy everywhere.
Spot on Jonn.
