U.S. Aims To "Unite The World" Against Iran

(CBS/AP)

Iran plotted to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States into a new global campaign to isolate the Islamic republic.

"It's critically important that we unite the world in the isolation of and dealing with the Iranians," Vice President Joe Biden said on "The Early Show" Wednesday. "That's the surest way to be able to get results."

U.S. officials say the administration will lobby for the imposition of new international sanctions as well as for individual nations to expand their own penalties against Iran based on allegations that Iranian agents tried to recruit a purported member of a Mexican drug cartel to kill the Saudi envoy on American soil.

Yeah, like no one we know assassinated one of their own citizens without due process, and now that country that occupies two other of Iran's neighboring countries is crying foul and now wants to make Iran an enemy? Let's start another war because the ones we are in now are getting old. It's called "economic stimulus".
Who are we to tell another country to not give the Mexican drug cartels guns and ask for something in return? Eric, are you listening?

We have been, with the help of the Israeli's, killing their nuclear scientists (in THEIR own country, Iran) with magnetic car bombs, drive-by shootings, and other nefarious methods for the last several years. But, NOW, we are supposed to be up in arms over something like this? The war machine is cranking up! Iran better be careful.. The military-industrial complex is hungry for the next war and the children of the rich (who rarely die for THEIR country) are already getting their "deferrments" in order. It's going to be YOUR kids that get to die so they can sell more weapons and bombs. USA! USA! USA!!!!

This is scarey stuff people. I'm sick to death of war mongering America! Can we please focus on the major issues we have to contend with within our own borders?
