OT (somewhat): Another plot foiled...
This one's interesting, it seems so far from what they're saying, Iranian Quds Force among others was involved in this one. The attempt to take out the Saudis certainly makes sense in any case. May want to keep an eye on this and see how it develops.
http://news.yahoo.com/u-says-iran-ti...145047487.html What's worrying is that they apparently weren't planning to be subtle about this, they were going to target D.C. for crying out loud.

Without doubting the seriousness of the situation.... there's just something about the thread title that demands "...and I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!"

"Rooby-rooby Roo!" On a serious note, will be interesting to see, what, if anything occurs as a result of this, though I doubt much will happen other than a diplomatic protest, another set of sanctions, etc.

What else is left to sanction? What do they have to lose?

Reminds me of Tegyrius' "Great Islamic War" from the T2013 background...
