My Comment: Con Coughlin says that this is a wake-up call for President Obama. What is my take .... President Obama knows who the Iranians are, but he is not going to war against an adversary like Iran over an assassination plot. What will propel a war against Iran is something like another 9/11 or an Iranian invasion of Saudi Arabian/Kuwaiti oil fields or blockage of the Strait Of Hormuz to oil traffic.
