#1 To do so would admit the utter failure of President Obama's entire Presidency from his "We're sorry!" world tour to his gutting of our military, to his inept 'reset' of our foreign policy to his bumbling implementation of pretty much everything to his destruction of our economy.
The media won't do that under any circumstances. When war DOES break out, it'll be "Bush's fault!"
#2 EVERYONE knows Obama is not capable enough to be "In Charge".

#3 I think a drift into failed states is more likely. Egypt will be next, as the price of wheat goes ever upward, bread riots aren't too far away.

#7 Some axioms: long time dictators always go down hard. Short time democratic pollster-driven politicians cannot get anything actually done, and noone forgets atrocities - ever. So yes, its wack a mole time again to some degree in the ME, and best if they just kept it local. I would worry more about the build up in subs in the Pacific myself.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
