Obama’s race to chaos

By Michael Goodwin

If you’re confused about the Saudi Arabia-led air attacks against Islamist rebels in Yemen and can’t tell one group of head-choppers in Iraq and Syria from another, don’t despair. All you need is imagination. Close your eyes and imagine that those countries and terrorists have nuclear weapons. Imagine their barbarism going nuclear as they blow up cities, wipe out ethnic and religious groups and turn the region into cinders. Now open your eyes and realize you’ve seen the future, thanks to President Obama’s policies. It is a future that will be defined by Obama’s Wars. Yes, plural. I’ve written frequently about the likelihood of a dystopian “Mad Max” scenario if Iran gets nukes. My thinking is guided by a belief among American military and intelligence officials that a nuclear exchange would take place in the Mideast within five years of Iran getting the bomb. To judge from events, the future is arriving ahead of schedule.

Ha! Bob Schieffer host of FACE THE NATION (CBS) just said he ‘has never seen the world more tangled!’

I wonder if Bob realizes that's due to a lack of American leadership under Obama, or if that's a concept he can't possibly wrap his mind around.

The probability is very low but I think there. Spengler opined that the United States would dissolve into a government by "formless powers" like Central and Latin America. This man appears to be the first of the formless powers(i.e. not following the structure outlined by our Constitution, imposing his arbitrary will.)

One day we're going to wake up to the news that a nuke was set off, millions dead, and the world will never be the same.

Unfortunately according to Thomas Sowell it may be us that Iran targets with nuclear weapons and our choice will be to surrender of die.

Two long years, I hope is all. But I sincerely believe the current world upheaval is designed by Obama and the Islamists, for a takeover of the US. There is no other reason for the current in our faces, protection of the Muslims, other than to condition us. John Kerry has the audacity to actually say, “allah willing?” Then follow up with suggesting the UN take over our military.

We can certainly identify with the Germanair pilot desperately trying to save the plane and its passengers, knowing there was evil locked in the cockpit, understanding the carnage, it was going down and not a damn thing he could do about it.

This what happens when you vote base on emotion, not facts and analysis. The world is headed to the shite hole and there is nothing we can do.

Perhaps the basis of votes for the imbecile in the White House was NOT emotion, but vice; i.e. greed free money no work.

I totally agree. Obama can only do what he wants with the help of an army of mini-mes. I suspect the mini-mes realize all they have to do is withdraw their support and he is a gelding.

I do not share the fear of others about his power. He is on his way out.

It’s important to note that Saudi Arabia fully funded Khan’s Pakistan nuclear development, *on condition* that Pakistan would deliver full operational nukes to SA on request.

And Saudi Arabia also has a missile program. While *supposedly*, the Chinese produced missiles they have purchased are unable to carry nuclear weapons, the Saudis definitely want such missiles.

However, in a peremptory strike against Iran, my guess is that the Saudis would sneak a nuke into Iran on the ground, which they could pre-position, and if it was detonated, they would have “plausible deniability”.

The trouble is that at the low level, tactically nations who preemptively strike with nukes would tend to win.
