The alleged Iranian government-backed plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States is quickly exacerbating already flaring tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Attorney General Eric Holder, in announcing the plot and criminal charges filed against two individuals, would not say exactly how high up the plot went in the Iranian government. He said it was "directed and approved by elements of the Iranian government," specifically noting the alleged involvement of members of Iran's special operations Quds Force.

The plot thickens, Obama needs a war to get reelected! he is going to try and find one so that in 2012 no one will want to change leaders during a war. The war if big enough, will also make jobs, and fuel the economy, and he can tout on his killing of Osama and the American terrorist and of cours protecting the Saudi interests that got him elected in the first place!
I disagree Anon 10:55. I think our leaders as a whole are looking for another war. After all, the Republicans are the majority and we know how they like wars.
As far as your statement that it will make jobs and fuel the economy, are you for real?
Did the Iraq and Afgan wars do either of these things? NO!
Those two wars are one of the biggest reasons we are where we are now!
At least with this situation, we have actual recordings of what transpired instead of someone high up "claiming" there are weapons of mass destruction only to come to find out later that was a LIE!
I don't trust our government any more than the next guy but blame and accusations should be placed where they belong, not matter WHO is the top power!
Gerald - again you are wrong.
Republicans neeed wars to get elected, Democrats need jobs to get elected
We should have nuked Iran in 1979. Everyday we resist using radiation therapy on them is another day the cancer that is Iran grows stronger and more life threatening to the United States and Israel. Nuke Tehran now and if that doesn't stop the cancer, turn all of Iran to glass!
Ronald Reagan would isolate Iran permanently. You fill in the blanks.
manufacturing jobs are the most lucruative in the world. thats why are one of the biggest economic surges in world history. we had natural resources we tapped into. wars create these manufacturing jobs. sad but true.
Tal and rick
your government is lying to you and has been since you were in grade school.
Wake up and smell the facism
Well, since our government, in it's infinite wisdom, has shipped 80% of our manufacturing jobs overseas, any U.S. wartime manufacturing boom will benefit China, Mexico. Columbia, Brazil, etc. not us.!

All governments lie to their people, always have, always will. All government, even a "good" one, is a necessary evil. But let's not talk stupid! Of course Rick was correct. The Iranian dogs held our fellow citizens hostage for a year. Why do YOU think they released them after Reagan won the presidency in "80" and before he took office. I'll tell you exactly why, and I'm not lying to you. They knew they weren't dealing with candy pants Carter anymore and that Reagan's first act in office would be to deal them a devastating military blow & possibly play Harry Truman with their worthless asses! And, again, thank you, Mr. Truman, for saving American lives by vaporizing those who would have killed thousands of our grandfathers! Would that our current leaders were as fit to be called patriots and leaders!
Islam as practiced by Iran, Saudi Arabia, and most of the Middle East is the mortal enemy of Western culture, women's rights and most everything good.
Maybe you want your daughter to be treated as a 4th class citizen, denied basic human rights and be dragged to court & whipped for the crime of driving a car, but I DON'T, and I will fight those dogs to the death, so help me God!
You go, TAL!
I'll follow!
