Jerusalem Post ^ | October 13, 2011 | By Reuters

Posted on 10/13/2011 10:56:57 AM PDT by Fennie

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama said on Thursday "individuals in the Iranian government" were aware of the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington, and they must be held accountable.

"We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability," Obama told a joint news conference with the visiting South Korean president.

Iran surrenders because Obama asks them too!

Do you think 0bama would actually (gasp) push the button and ask them to?

Ahmadenijad: Father, I cannot tell a lie. I dood it with my liddul hatchet men. Lock me up, please. Throw away the keys. For my mug shots, I’ll smile and say “cheese”. But seriously, folks. A funny thing happened to me on the way over here. A man said he hadn’t had a bite in three days. So I sicked my dogs on him. They bit him.

THAT will be as far as he goes. He may whine to the UN via Hillary, but nothing much more will be made of it for various reasons. Carter redux.

Not that I want another war, especially with Iran, but to do little makes us look even more impotent since he took office. Bowing and begging forgiveness has emboldened our enemies. Nothing will come of this, like nothing else comes of his rhetoric.

In times like this, his marxist background, bowing to potentates, the photo of him carrying a book about a "World Without America", his socialist economic policies, says ever thing we need to know about this "One World Communist".

The Iranians have been supplying weapons that have killed thousands of our own soldiers in Iraq over the past few years. And they are making progress on their own nuclear bomb. The U.S. has done nothing, but now Obama is incensed because the Iranians threatened the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. Obama is more concerned about the Saudi ambassador than he is about our own troops.

Holder probably revealed the plot prematurely, at the expense of gathering more intelligence, because he wanted to create a diversion from his lying to Congress about Fast & Furious. Obama and Holder created Fast & Furious in an attempt to gain support for more gun control, since they would be able to “show” that weapons sold in the U.S. were being used by the drug cartels. What they didn’t plan is the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, with the same weapons. If we ordinary civilians did the same thing, we would be charged with being accessories to murder. Obama and Holder think they make their own laws.

So, even if there wasn’t “operational knowledge at the highest levels” of the US government about the plan to illegally smuggle arms to Mexican drug cartels, “there needs to be accountability”.

Hoist him on his own petard.

I concur completely with your perspective.

The fact is, this illegitimate regime is chock full of traitors, misfits and malcontents and the entire lot of them need to be cracking rocks at Leavenworth.

Obama is another politician trying to cover his axx. The news cycle hasn’t been going his way so he changes it. That’s how false flags are used. USA doesn’t need another costly war for the sake of protecting Obama.

Let’s take on the REAL invaders from the south of the border that are destroying the USA financially, its culture, and through gang terrorism, instead of a nation 6000-7000 miles away that can’t even begin to reach us.

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama said on Thursday "individuals in the Iranian United States government" were aware of the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington smuggle guns across the US/Mexican border, and they must be held accountable.

"We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability," Obama told a joint news conference with the visiting South Korean president.

Fixed it.

We’ll just see if he is serious enough to go that far....

He is going to issue a strongly worded letter and then put a black mark by Amhadamnedjerk’s name.

Too bad there was no publicly stated interest in accountability concerning Iran’s proxy attacks on our troops.

this actually does involve the drug cartels that the Obama Regime smuggled arms to in order to justify signing on to a UN citizen gun ban treaty

the intel came from a secret agent within a mexican drug cartel being solicited to facilitate the attack

more collateral damage from Obama's Fast and Furious
