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.

Just announce that our new policy concerning assassination plots is “tit for tat.” Keep them guessing about who is on the target list.

I was listening to my radio in the car when the resident came on the air telling what he was gonna do to big bad Iran.

It was pathetic—both what he said, and how he sounded.......if someone can find it and post it to FR, I think we’d all get a sad laugh from hearing it.

Obama is already getting what looks to be a slight “Wag the Dog” bump based on this. Never mind that they were on to this nut ball last June and he never presented a credible threat. My guess is that this was probably nothing more than a run of the mill Muslim lunatic who was trying to get some support from Iran. This is nothing more than a distraction. The real news will be when all the lunatics stop trying to blow up something somewhere. Obama’s secret best friend, Bill Ayers is an unrepentant bomber he understands what makes them tick.

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

His best quote ever.

“Accountability?”

I think that might mean a cash payment into his bank account.

“We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability,” - That should also be the argument for the Fast and Furious scandal.

Obama sounded like he did when he said the police acted ‘stupidly’ and then said that he did have any details.

I find it strange that when there is a jihadist attack, immediately Obama and the MSM say that the perp was acting alone (before any details are learned), but in this case, Obama says it was an attack from Iran, again with no details.

Obama said that, even if the plot wasn’t known at the highest levels, the top people were accountable for it. Does this attitude extend to Holder in the Fast and Furious scandal? Noooooo, that’s different.

AP quote: Obama says Iran exhibited "reckless behavior." Is that like acting stupidly? I smell another beer summit.

Hussein "demands" accountability for Iran supposedly targeting a Saud. But Hussein didn't demand the same accountability when Iran's leader called for the extermination of Israel and called it a "corpse".

Lemme guess, Barry'll bow before more royalty of the House of Saud to get back at them?

Or maybe, just maybe, Barry will go all the way and Wag The Dog?

Wow he tells Christians slaughtered and jews running from their buildings from rocket fire to cool out and then demands “accountability” to Iran? What a lame duck. Let the Saudi’s go in. It’ll be great shia vs sunni and we can watch them kill each other. Oh wait we are addicted to their oil, nevermind. Obama will do nothing, nothing. If he does it’ll be a miracle. Too BAD the idiot is bankruptnig coal, not growing oil until “green gets their sh** together and of course bankrupting all of we the people. Of course he has established the muslim brotherhood by supporting a bloody war in Libya . Gads what a mess he is *ahem* this whole administration is.

Perhaps he may even open a dialog with them with no preconditions.

This, from a creature that produced a fake birth certificate.
