Obi is in a better position to deliver it. Anti-war, the Left & the media wouldn’t question Obi as much as they would a republican president.
Anyhow, I think the likelihood of a strike on Iran is high this time, unlike previous reports. For one thing, recently, the UK made a point of saying “the official UK policy on Iran is not regime change”. — http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2796638/posts?page=6#6 — A strike even on nuke facilities in Iran can result in ‘regime change’. And, unlike Iraq, this time it’ll have full support from the French. But, my guess is that they just don’t want to use neocon-type words. They’ve been trying to manage public perception.
The Saudis dread the Persians as do all the little oil emirates. No one wants to die for Palestine, or even be inconvenienced for it. They don’t mind writing a check to the terrorists, but they don’t want a real fight.
Some Persians have delusions of a re-emergence of the Persian Empire and this scares the bejeebers out of Arabs. The Arabs would be wise not to “encourage” the Ottoman, either.
