I think Kim the Ill, Ahmed the Iranian, and Osama’s successors are pushing hard right now for major blowup because they understand that the chance of success will decline after a November sea change. Turkey’s Islamists see a major chance to take the lead of the Sunni faction desiring Caliphate but they have to be out front when it all goes bang.

I think you give these foreign potentates too much credit. They see Hussein as commander in chief and POTUS no matter what happens in November, and they are right.
They see now that they have a free hand. The US has the power, but Hussein is unwilling to use it. In the mid east Israel is enduring a never ending war. Iran has its surrogates supplied and ready. This latest gambit with the "aid flotilla" was just a, seemingly successful, attempt to shape the terms of the propaganda war and create some more martyrs.

It was. Hillary was annointed to be President after Bush. She was so sure that the Presidental nomination was hers, she just went through the motion of campaigning. Then all of a sudden, she was out before she knew what was going on.
