1. Sanctions are no longer enough
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.12.11)
Time to get tachles with the Islamofascist Republic. They have REALLY crossed the line, this time. Does anyone remember what Admiral Namamoto, architect of the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, said following the attack? "I fear that we have waken a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve." Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Talk about terrible resolve. Iran may lack sufficient diplomatic sophistication to understand this, but by plotting to assassinate foreign diplomats on United States soil; by plotting to destroy foreign embassies on United States soil, the Islamic Republic has essentially declared war on the United States. The fact that the plots were thwarted changes nothing. Law follows intent, not efficacy.
2. Are you serious madame or are you just
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.12.11)
a DUMB PHONEY...??? Okay, okay...I really KNOW...!!!
3. I predict the future: NOBUMMA will NOT
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.12.11)
DO ANYTHING against his Iranian darlings...
4. June 10,2010 UN sanctions
A Very Heavy Stone ,   Florida   (10.12.11)
June 10,2010 "The resolution will reinforce a range of existing economic, high-technology and military sanctions against Iran, encourage states to pursue Iranian vessels suspected of transporting banned materials and strengthen the United Nations' capacity to monitor enforcement." The June 10, 2010 UN sanctions were never enforced, not 1 Iranian ship has been stopped in 16 months of these empty' sanctions. This could be Obama's re-election move to target Iran because his poll numbers are DOWN under. A trap he falls into ,D-day , the beginning of the Tribulation time before Messiah's return, a dark time of judgment which God has put off until NOW !
5. Hypocrit !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.13.11)
The US itself does not refrain from trying to Murder Foreighn Statesmen, lastly Ghadaffi. And sanctions against Iran will achieve nothing, since bouth China and other foreighn powers has Strategic intressts in Iran. The Us use to behave in the same manner when Her own strategic intressts are conserned, morality and rightousness means nothing. But by all means - take Iran on as nr 1 has suggested. Arn.Sweden.
6. Hypocritical
Doublespeak ,   Elysium   (10.13.11)
Yes speaking of 'law' the FBI once again used blatant entrapment in the same way they used to recruit the supposed remote control plane 'bomber'. They hatched the plot, financed it, made the contacts & went out seeking recruits. In any 'normal' court in a 'democratic' country this would be tossed out. And suddenly the giant leap is made from this one guy to the Iranian government. Unbelievable but shows the 'man of peace' is hellbent on creating yet another war. What is so hypocritical is that the US with Israel finances the terrorist group Jundallah inside Iran which attacks & bombs civilians but this isn't called 'terrorism' but 'counterterrorism'. What a laugh...
7. The scepticism surrounding this plot
seadog1946 ,   MorrisCanalBasin NJ   (10.13.11)
is growing by the minute... especially the the idea that the Persians plotted "to hire a Mexican drug cartel to kill the Saudi envoy with a bomb attack in Washington" only to be foiled by a DEA informant in the cartel... a plot worthy of a B movie script.
8. speculations galore
wiz of iz ,   montreal canada   (10.13.11)
A very oddball conglomeration of actors in this play, and the plot is just as twisted.Questions I ask are: What is Saudi Arabia going to do?,is there a connection to the Mexican drug cartel vis-a-vis connections through drugs supplied by government higher-ups in Iran, and how many more fifth column personel does Iran control worldwide to aid and abet Iran's schemes of tyranny and jihad??? Time to get the big eraser and be finished with this bad bunch of problem makers,this Iran! We want a new Iran!
9. Translation: "We are Democrats. We will do NOTHING!".

Mark ,   t.a. Israel   (10.13.11)
12. It's a Miracle!
Devorah   (10.13.11)
just as Obama and his AG (Eric Holder) and their corrupt Dept. of Justice are crumbling to dust amid a slew of very serious criminal scandals, along comes an Iranian plot to save the day!

14. #1 Your knowledge of the law is lamentable
Robert ,   Australia   (10.13.11)
Do you understand what "Alleged" means?
15. To: Chris at No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.13.11)
The United States Congress is charged with declaring war -- the most the president can do is ask them for a declaration of war, but asking is not a constitutional requirement. As commander in chief, the president must do the Congress' bidding. Congress represents the people, and the president works for the people. Well, the good and smart ones do, at any rate. If Obama wants to work for the Iranian people, he should move to Teheran.
16. Just love how no ONE is mentioning that the
(10.13.11)
Iranian terrorists wanted to murder the Israeli ambassador also. Guess Jewish blood isn't RED enough to mention...
17. Are Ahmadinejad and his 'Revolutionary Guard'...
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.13.11)
Out of control? Are we to see a coup to oust Khamenei from power? Their lust for power, conquest, for gung ho macho..and most importantly MONEY is beyond belief. Its obsessive. Its what drives these people to take Iran and its people to the brink...and beyond I just hope that Iranians wake up to this in time
18. More smoke and mirrors from the...
Chris.B ,   Australia   (10.13.11)
puppets in the Whitehouse. Violation of International law. These peoples handlers really have a sardonic sence of humour.
19. ***Sarah***at No.15...Yeah ! Hussein O.
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.13.11)
should move over to Teheran ! There he could openly practice his Muslim faith and he could start from scratch, as a community organizer... And we all could finally wish him well...!
20. Nr 14.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.14.11)
You seems to me to be the Jerk here - I quote - The fact that the plots were thwarted changes nothing. Law follows intent, not efficacy. Sarah B , U.S.A. / Israel (10.12.11) in comparison to - Do you understand what "Alleged" means? Robert , Australia (10.13.11) Comment - Do you really believe that the US must prove beyond reasonaly doubt that this is the Truth ? You are not in a court of law now, but in reality. Thruth is thruth wheter it is proven or not. If you know a truth Yourself but cant prove it, it is not thuth to you albait that ? You are biting in stone. Arn.Sweden.

THE US SECRETARIATE IS NOT THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION.
