Obama has been very clever. A communist, he has exploited the Muslim Brotherhoods anti-western bias, in order to oblitereate any western-style emerging capitalist markets in Norht Africa and the Middle East.
He is setting people up for starvation and a horrifying future, because China and Russia will both enter the Middle East as active participants seeking energy, in what I can only call a “Monster’s Ball”.
Just saw an interesting article today that we are close to exceeding Saudi Arabia in oil production thanks to new discoveries and technologies. I was also surprised to see in the conservative DC “Examiner” paper that there are now more jobs in the US in oil than at the end of the Bush I administration, and quite a lot more than under Bush II or Clinton.
Something that really scared/shocked me during the debates was to hear Romney say that Iran needs the Syrian ports. Is he aware that Iran does NOT touch Syria and has its own ports on the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. I guess if Iran succeeds in co-opting the Shiite parts of Iraq, then they might be able to build a rail line to Syria. I sure hope it doesn’t mean that Romney has not even bothered to study a map.
