O and his fellow effetes are closeted with the Mullahs conspiring a slaughter of freedom loving Iranians. 0 is doomed if the Iranian people overcome their oppressors.

Taking down Iran by taking down Iraq. And in turn, Lebanon, Syria, and Hamas, when the Iranian money disappears.

It just occurs to me: That would be like Vietnam, Cambodia, then Laos. The "discredited" Domino Theory (as the pro-Communist American media described it) that turned out to be correct—except in reverse.

Best case would be: Iranian people win. Then announce that they love America, except for Obama, because he's a calculating coward. And that they're forming an alliance with the only other free country in the Middle East, Israel.

OR... He doesn't care. There is no personal messianic glory so why bother? Why go out on a limb when Obama can schedule more photo shoots for glossy magazines and talk about his global warming programs and carbon free neck ties for fathers day? America is taking the lead in all these other ways that emphasizes his glory.
