I totally agree...This article is complete and utter BS.

America does NOT want to see Mubarak displaced...He’s a known quantity, and in spite of being one of the sleazier whores we’re in bed with nationally, he represents sustaining the Middle-Eastern status quo.

At the end of the day, the Government would rather just bow out of the whole Israeli-Palestianian thing entirely. If they could yank every soldier out of Iraq and Afghanistan without the whole house of cards coming down they would.

As long as the Middle-East remains fragmented, distrustful of one another, and in a defensive fetal position, our oil lifeline is not threatened...Once we have a wave of Muslim revolutions hit, oil skyrockets, and our economy grinds to a halt.

Now no matter what some of our more fervent conspiracy theorists here believe, Obama and company don’t stay up at night fantasizing about how to green the planet. Just like any other politicians they feed their base the minimum necessary to win re-election support and hold on to power.

Obama knows that if oil spikes to $8 a gallon, he’s a one term president (if he isn’t already.) “Drill baby drill” will become a bipartisan mantra, and China and the US will face off over the remaining exploitable oil sources, and not necessarily just diplomatically.

It’s in NOBODY’s interest to have a more volatile Middle-East.

Except the Muslims’.

Sadly I do think these idiots are stupid enough to try to capitalize on the situation selling their green pipe dreams.

“””It’s in NOBODY’s interest to have a more volatile Middle-East. Except the Muslims’.”””

____

You failed to recognize the Leftists, Marxists, and Communists who have been in bed with the Muslims for decades in an effort to destroy Christianity, Judaism, and Capitalism. The Leftists, Marxists, and Communists also dream of a Middle East in flames.

Is it any coincidence that the last time there was a volatile Middle East a Leftist President Jimmy Carter was at the helm?

So did the Shah of Iran, so did Saddam Hussein in Iraq, so did Milosevic in Yugoslavia. You don't get it, the globalist bankers thrive on instability -- it's just another word for "opportunity" to them. You are under the assumption that "America's interests" is what guides these decision makers when it is the furthest thing from their minds.

It’s in NOBODY’s interest to have a more volatile Middle-East. Except the Muslims’.

Again, you assume that the bankers and Muslims are on opposite sides. Where have you been? The Muslims are due to be about 1/4 of the planet in the next 20 years. What a "market-share"!

A good quote about Obama:

“He can’t be bought, bullied or negotiated with… some people just want to see the world burn.”

It was either Obama or the Joker...I'm not sure now.
