Obama Demands 'Accountability' By Iran Over Plot
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.

Accountability?

You go first, Obaama.

Cheers!

how exactly does an Iranian American plot to kill a Saudi diplomat along with a little collateral damage differ from America using unmanned drones to kill people we don't like on foreign soil?

You don't see the difference between killing a Saudi diplomat and innocent people versus killing a terrorist on a kill list? Good grief.

Can we say posturing?

Iran is zero’s ideological ally....he’d never do anything to
really control them.

Obama is an idiot

he thinks the world is like Chicago politics, you ask Blogojivich for "accountability", you tell Iran " if anything like this happens we will destroy your infrastructure within 48 hours so you better be careful and put your agents on a tight leash".....

even I could do a better job than that worm Barak,

but on the other hand maybe Obama's lifelong ambition is the destruction of america,( after all he is buddies with Bill Ayers, etc,etc)

“Accountability”? Is that like “transparency”? Sucks to have this guy as our head of state.

The innocent people was the plan as laid out by the FBI informant, not the Iranian.

As for our predator strikes to kill terrorists, we take out plenty of tag-alongs too.

The Saudis have been terrorist enemies of Iran for quite some time. If Saudis are on Irans kill list, as they have defined their enemies of their state, then the same argument you make for our terrorist kill list applies to their terrorist kill list.

No it doesn’t. Who Iran thinks is an enemy and on their kill list is completely irrelevant. Killing a innocent Saudi diplomat is not equivalent to killing a terrorist.

Also we try to limit collateral damage in our drone attacks where this Iranian terrorist attack would have intentionally involved murder of innocents.

The Iranians are pissed off because they wanted their Mexican hit man to have one of those really cool 50 calibre Barretts that AG Holder sold to whack the Saudi Ambassador with!

Actually I dont want this to escalate, as Obama will use it as the perfect storm, the perfect electoral distraction, the perfect Wag the Dog, the ONLY WAY FOR HIM TO BE REELECTED.

Obama's incredible Flip-Flop on Iran

May 18, 2008: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us. ...they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. I mean, if Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance.


May 20, 2008 (2 days later!): Iran is a grave threat. It has an illicit nuclear program. It supports terrorism across the regions and militias in Iraq. It threatens Israel's existence. It denies the Holocaust.

The really dangerous hired assassin was an unemployed Mexican used car salesman.

Piling up the White Hut furniture and lighting it on fire would be just as affective in creating a diversion.

Obozo's Iranian Buds come to help Obozo with his crashing poll numbers!

Below are some riviting scenes from 'Wag the Dog III'. Narrated by our Obozo with soundbites from the ayatollah Kameini and some hot headlines from the MSM Mediots.

Obozo, you Suck!

0bozo replies and demands severe accountability from his Iranian buds! Then, he orders Holder, and his mediot whores in the MSM to start "Wag the Dog III" 24/7!

I demand full accountabilility!"

The crack MSM mediots have learned the following about the dangerous wannabe assassin.

The really dangerous wannabe and nearly hired assassin was an unemployed Mexican used car salesman.
