Libyan Phantoms & Iranian Assassins: Greatest Hit Squads 1981-2011
If you’re feeling like you’re being taken for a ride with all this nonsense about Iranian-Narco-Mexican terror hit-squads infiltrating this great nation, read on…
Last week, the curtains finally came down on Col. Qaddafi. The week before that, we were treated to a scary, impossible-to-believe, slapstick assassination plot involving Iran’s Quds terror agency, some shady Persian hustler with a mullet who looks like the villain in True Lies, and Los Zetas, the Mexican narco-gangsters–creating a perfect narco-Islamo-fasci-terrorist threat.
It’s all a little hard to swallow. How does a government agency deal with a skeptical public? By acting like no one’s as skeptical as they are. Yep, even the FBI is telling friendly right-wing media outlets that they too thought the plot was too ridiculous to be believed:
“Initially, some of us were shaking our heads, asking is this for real,” says an FBI official. “One would assume we were dealing with a sophisticated, well-funded service,” referring to Iran’s Quds Force.
What’s been forgotten is that 30 years ago, these same three countries–Iran, Libya and Mexico–all starred in an equally bizarre, fantastical, impossible-to-believe assassination plot, which was also greeted with skepticism by much of the American media and public. It was Jack Anderson, the famous columnist, who whipped up the terror-plot hysteria as a favor to his buddies in the Reagan White House–and it was Jack who later turned around and complained that only a fool would’ve believed it.
