President Obama has recently declared that the "highest levels" of the Iranian government must be held responsible for the recently discovered plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States.
He made this absolute statement while recognizing that those high level officials might not have known the full extent of the plan or the operational details. His assumption is that, as president of Iran, the buck stops at Ahmedinejad.
I think he is right. The president of a country is ultimately responsible for the actions of his appointed officials.
Will Mr. Obama hold himself to that same standard with regard to "Fast and Furious"?
