Obama and the Iranian war on the US

Heritage: Obama’s Failure to Confront the Iranian Threat  "Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remarked that the plot “crosses a line that Iran needs to be held to account for.” Iran, however, crossed the line long ago, be it the country’s rogue pursuit of nuclear weapons, its calls for the eradication of Israel, its support of terrorism, its meddling in Iraq, or its interference with the movement toward democracy in the Middle East. Even without yesterday’s charges, the Obama Administration has had plenty of reason to take the lead on confronting the Iranian threat, but it has utterly failed to do so."


Two Men Charged in Alleged Plot to Assassinate Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States
"“As alleged, these defendants were part of a well-funded and pernicious plot that had, as its first priority, the assassination of the Saudi Ambassador to the United States, without care or concern for the mass casualties that would result from their planned attack,” said U.S. Attorney Bharara. “Today’s charges should make crystal clear that we will not let other countries use our soil as their battleground.” " From GlobalSecurity.org

"The attacks were part of a Iranian Quds Force plot wherein the Iranians intended to obtain the services of a Mexican drug cartel hit team."  And the cartel hit team will enter the US... how? And with weapons from where?

 Claudia Rosett: Did Ahmadinejad Know About the Iranian Terror Plot on Washington? "Terror and carnage in Washington, D.C., with the Saudi ambassador assassinated by a bomb while dining at a restaurant packed with 100-150 other customers, possibly including a number of senators. That’s what “elements” of Iran’s government allegedly had planned for this autumn...."

Walid Phares:  Iran Botched Act Of War In Washington  "The answer may well be their perception of US lack of will to contain them, let alone stopping them. They have read US unwillingness to “meddle” in the 2009 protests in Iran, as a sign of disengagement, read American retreat. Totalitarians are emboldened not moderated, when they feel their foes pulling back. The late 1930s were tragic examples of accommodating the fascists of Europe. It could be that the Middle East’ Jihadists, particularly the Khomeinist among them are on a similar track: advancing."

DEBKAfile:  US on global alert for Iranian reprisal that may jeopardize Shalit release   "US officials are deeply concerned that Tehran may not take lying down Washington's charge that the Revolutionary Guards' Al Qods Brigades were complicit in the assassination plot or the success of a prisoner exchange deal releasing the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit from Hamas captivity."
