I agree with you. I am not sure who is trying to set up whom. It sure looks like Obama may be going after Hillary. Obama is a Saudi puppet and the Saudis look bad here (because they are bad).
Someone has an agenda in this.
The net effect will be to alienate and isolate the United States diplomatically. The Bush “Coalition of the willing” has already been betrayed by the Obama Administration and now they can't even count on the secrecy of the US.
This is going to paralyze cooperation between the US and it's Allies. The net result will be an increase in chaos and anarchy as cooperation between the US and Allies begins to evaporate. This will have a negative impact on the war on terror and ability to present a united front to rouge nations such as Iran, North Korea and other axis of evil countries
