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.

Wag the camel.

Gee willickers, Bam. Those guys sure are a bunch of meanies, huh?

Even Hillary! Said yesterday this this kind of junk goes “ against international norms”

Wow! What should we do, Bam? Let’s go right over there and sock em right in the nose.

Obama, you hang out with too many granola eating, birkenstock wearing lesbians.

And the so-called assassin had a MEXICAN link?

Hmmm...more and more reason to think this is a fake call to get attention off Fast & Furious and try to build some support for Holder's gun policy.

"We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to will be accountability in the form of campaign contributions towards my election in 2012. Also a hefty donation towards my retirement account."

Barry,

They are all laughing at you...

But its okay... you earned it : )

I am sure I'm going to get flamed for this, but 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?

I'm just aksin? For my logic to run true, I find our case for outrage to be a bit single sided.

[mass55th]

I’d like some accountability from Obama.

I disagree with the tit for tat approach as it reeks of the UN propotional response Bravo Sierra.

Our country's response to any agressive act by a foreign power should be overwhelmingly out of proportion. Kill a soldier, lose a division. Kill a citizen lose a city. Kill a diplomat, lose your foreign ministry and so on.

Bullies are not stopped with councling or a smack in the face. Bullying stops when the bully get's the crapped beat out of him.

More rubble, less trouble.

"We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability,"

When I heard this, I mentally substituted the words "Fast and Furious" into the question. Funny how he demands accountability from everybody but himself.

[Irish Eyes]

When I read the headline I was sure it would be from the onion.

[rollo tomasi]

Nothing, all is fair in love and war.

Who dares first wins, so I hoped you don’t complain if total war ever commences. You are not “one of those” since your logic would be contradictory.

[b4its2late]

I’m sure that’ll get things done... NOT.

[hattend]

“look over there!”

Deflect focus on gunrunning out of the White Hut.

[AU72]

I can hear the laughing in Iran from here.

[Drill Thrawl]

Big difference. They are “freedom fighters” we are just imperialistic oppressors.

[blackdog]

I’m not mulling over the merits. I’m questioning the sentiment of the crowd who does not see the obvious contradiction regarding Obama’s outrage. Given Obama fans and their logic, how come we are not issuing subpoena’s and requests for extradition to bring the perpetrators to justice?

They were also allegedly plotting to blow up Israel's embassy in Washington as well as those of Israel and Saudi Arabia in Argentina.

[rollo tomasi]

Your point is clear

but,

[arrogantsob]

That is pretty simple. People who have been involved in terror attacks on American interests are fair game. If you haven’t been involved in actual attacks or planning/instigating attacks on American interests you are home free. It isn’t like the scum recently wiped off the fact of the earth was hanging out with den-mothers and missionaries either.
