I am not so sure that it will. The US is occupied in two wars and the only leverage they have is the threat of cutting off aid. Egypt is stalling for time. They are killing off fringe players. Israel supports Mubarak.
If Mubarak plays rope a dope for a while, Obama is going to be hampered by his reelection campaign and other crisis. I think he is in a very weak position.
That’s one of the main reasons that Democrats picked Charlotte to host the convention in ‘12. As it stands right now, President Obama does not have a chance of winning a single Southern state and thus may lose the reelection narrowly (think of Gore’s defeat back in ‘00).
Not true. Don't buy the media line. We are engaged in ONE war against radical Islamists. In this war, we stand largely, though not entirely alone. And by "we" in this context, I mean Americans on the political Right.
