The people who were apoplectic at the thought of blood being shed to protect US oil imports under either Bush now seem perfectly okay with blood being shed to protect European oil imports. Wonder what’s changed...?
Obama is killing a few birds with one “kinetic action”:
1. Speeding up our path to bankruptcy so we will re-org under his rules
2. Appeasing the Europeans so they hopefully will like him - and accept his promotion to higher office once he leaves the confines of the WH.
3. Helping Al-Queda - who is also an enemy of Israel - the enemy of my enemy...
4. Further de-sensitiving Americas to accept his “absolute power” regardless of the constitution and over 200 years of laws.
