On Obama's watch, the regional balance of influence and power has shifted even further away from the United States and toward Iran and its allies. The Islamic Republic has continued to deepen its alliances with Syria and Turkey and expand its influence in Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine.
And, now, the Obama administration stands by helplessly as new openings for Tehran to reset the regional balance in its favor emerge in Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and perhaps elsewhere. If these "pro-American" Arab political orders currently being challenged or upended by significant protest movements become at all more representative of their populations, they will no doubt become less enthusiastic about strategic cooperation with the United States. And, if these "pro-American" regimes are not replaced by salafi-dominated Islamist orders, the Arab governments that emerge from the present turmoil are likely to be at least somewhat receptive to Iran's message of "resistance" and independence from Israel and the West.
At a more strategic level, the Obama administration's post-Ben Ali, post-Mubarak approach to Iran is putting important U.S. interests in serious jeopardy.
The United States faces serious challenges in the Middle East. Its strategic position in this vital part of the world is eroding before our eyes.

Every move 0bama makes is done with the intention of weakening the U.S. -— culturally, economically, militarily, geo-politically.....
In every way possible.
Is this a surprise to anyone?
If O keeps it up, we won’t need to worry about becoming a second rate power, we’ll be out of the top ten entirely. Think Laos.
Ah, that's where he lost me.
Let's not kid ourselves. The governments are not going to be more representative of their populations. They are going to be more representative of past populations, in which radical Islam ruled the roost. They're going back hundreds of years.
Current populations have nothing to do with what governments will form, and what Theological dynasties are set up.
Kiss your asses good-bye suckers...
Many of you may have had lofty ideals, but pawns are fodder and bigger pieces rule the board.
As sorry as I may be, them's the breaks.
Lets face it folks, we have a bumbling narcissist idiot in charge.
Whom do you think Odumbo received all the untraceable foreign donations from Shia Muslims. It is all part of the plan by Iran. The have believed since 2007 that their 12th Imam will return and the prophesy is as folows that is on arabic websites
2006 - 2007 The Mahdi emerges from hiding/seclusion as the new khaleefah to rule for 7 years. He will be revealed first to the inner circle of the 12 and then to the 313 Mujahidin of the mahdi ( believers of the sect of the 12ers of Shia whom beleive the 12th Imam is alive and well.
There are some whom see Ahmadinejad is the 12th Imam and others whom believe that Obama is the 12th Imam.
here is a prophesy according Shia ‘s 12ers tradition Imam Ali Ibn ab-Talih the prophets’ cousin and son-in-law that at the end of times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the ultimate Savior, a tall black man will assume the reins of the government in the West, Commanding the strongest Army on the earth, the new ruler will carry a clear sign from the third Imam whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali the tradition concludes Shia;s should have no doubt that he is with us.
a curious coincidence when Obama was elected as president the Muslim masses rejoiced, was is that here is something that Arabs and Persians know alike in the Shia faith Barack Hussein means “ the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name Obama in the persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma which means “He (allah) is with us”. The magic formula of the Mahidi’s tradition
In 2013 the tradition continues that there will be a great battle whereby the mahidi’s armies will fight a-Dajjal (the great deceiver).
I was reading further and I stumbled onto this regarding Ahmadinejad and Iran.
Ahnadinejad has reactivated Irans network of orgainzations in Bahrain, Kuwait, saudi arabia , Pakistan and Yemen, while also resuming contact with Sunni fundamentalist groups in Turkey, Eqypt, algeria, Saudi arabia and Morocco. Interesting many of the same nations that have been having uprisings and struggles with certain problems.
A Shia Muslim boy enters the madrassah and is educated in the Qu’ran and he is cultivated in two qualities
1. entezar to learn the capacity to patiently wait for the Imam to return
2. taajil the actions needed to hasten the Imam;s return
In order to make sure the infidel loses his nuclear advantage, it could be worn down in a long, low intensity war at the end which surrender to Islam would appear to be the best of options. And this could signal the reappearance of the 12th Imam.
Look at all the contigencies that Iran is striving to put in place. Chaos and confusion throughout the Middle east. Guess whom is aiding and abetting Iran Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama II.
Lets look at Mahmud Ahmadinejad his mother Sayeed Khanom is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammed (Founder of Islam) His fathers last name is actually Sabarian and arabic name but his father is equivalent in American to a poverty stricken white person -trailer trash or a poverty stricken black man ghetto there is another name but lets keep it clean. His father changed his name to Ahmad which is translated “of the race of the prophet”. Basically mahmud ahnadinejad is a madman with a messianic complex.
what do we know about Barck Hussein Mohammed Obama II, really nothing. he claims he was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, really where is the long (hospital generated with the doctor in attendance and the foot prints and finger prints of the newborn baby) form the can attest to this birth. Obama has only supplied the Hawaiians Certification of Birth (effective since 1982). It no longer will supply a Certificate of Birth.
Obama could have born outside of the US, because Hawaii as a territory till statehood was granted in August 1959 and his grandmother Dunham could have submitted an application for a certificate of Birth dependent upon a signature (mothers signature Stanley Dunham) simply forged by her mother Madelyne Dunham. Obama was legally adopted by Soetoro prior to 1966 and lived in Indonesia till age of 10. His mother sent Barry Sotero back live with Madelyne Dunham and her husband. Obama attended Occidental College til 1981. In the summer of 1981 he went to Pakistan with Wahid Hamid and stayed with the family of Mohammed Hassan Chando in Karachi Pakistan. The family was devout Shia Muslim and afterwards Barry Soetoro changed his name to Barck Hussein Mohammed Onbama II because he became proud of his Islamic background. Is that why he really changed his name or is it because he found out that his Muslim name gave him a special privilege Barck Hussein mening Blessed of Hussein and O Ba Ma meaning (He (Allah) is with us” fits into his own messianic complex.
Here America is in a protracted conflict in the Muslim world. there is a nut case in the terms of Mahmud Ahmadinejad in Iran whom is striving to develop nuclear weapons. But just may have been limited by Israel and its Stuxnet virus program. Now America is lead by anoither nut case witha messianic complex in the form Of barack Hussein Mohammed Obama II
The Shia Muslim thrive on the traditions of their prophet. It is just possible Iran is encouraging these events because either Ahmadinejad or Obama are the people whom they believe will bring back their messiah. They will strive to do anything to make this possible.
what happens if Obama does not become relected in 2012, this ends their prophesy. Just some words for thought.
If there any errors in this post forgive me because I am recuperating from cervical neck surgery I utilize a voice activated program and I am still training it to recognize words with my voice, so errors will occur. Use this however you desire, but keep in mind this is just an understanding from the information that have read.
>Is it incompetence or worse?<
Look at how much damage he has done since being in office.
No one can do that much damage by accident no matter how incompetent he is.
This is by design.
Iran’s alliance with Venezuela opens up access to Hugo Chavez’ Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) which has eight Latin American member nations. Obama has tilted toward Chavez and ALBA while attempting to destabilize a loyal U.S. ally like Honduras when it deposed and replaced its Marxist president.
Its intentional. He is trying to create an energy crisis so he can try cap n trade again.
Working against the interests of your country used to be called treason.
The fact that actions are no longer taken for what they really are is our own fault.
But what the result will be is devastating.
