#3 Now if only Obama had sense enough to listen

Now, if only Bibi said it in a private phone conversation.

#6 As 300 troops are being sent to Iraq, Iraq's military is now out of ammunition.

As the world becomes unstable, even in the US as tens of thousands of illegals pour into the US across our now non-existent borders, any thing unexpected can and will happen in a moment.

#7 My greatest concern is that a charismatic leader will emerge with the capability to "settle" the Sunni / Shia divisions.

If that happens, we have, at present time, no leadership capable of stopping them.

#8 once ISIS is stopped intra-Islamist disputes will begin to take their toll on them like they have in syria

of course there will be thousands, if not tens of thousands of fatalities and millions of people oppressed, but after all, its Islam

#9 ...of course there will be thousands, if not tens of thousands of fatalities and millions of people oppressed, but after all, its Islam.

Sounds a lot like most of 20th Century Europe as well. How'd all that "make the world safe for democracy" work out Woodrow? Notice how as we disengaging, things are returning to the fratricidal and authoritarian 'normal' again. There were reasons our forefathers left or were thrown out of the place to begin with. Pax Americana is indeed receding. Enjoy participating in the real patterns of history.

#10 The unwarranted assumption is that Obama actually sees all these folks, or any of these folks, as enemies.

When your psychotic narcissism is such that you consider yourself the best at everything and people are not bowing down to you than you are fine with the idea of burning down the world.

The only historical analog to Obama I can conjur is Nero.

#11 Hitler was keen on burning down the world.
