He's sympathetic to all of Islam and genuinely believes that the American military, above terrorists, is the source of all evil in the modern world. <br /><br />That said, if his legacy is at risk, he'll probably take some action, but only defensive, to safeguard the passage of US petroleum shipments through the Strait.

They will either use some small discretion and get totally away with whatever they do; or trigger a major war. Alternative, Obama's unicorns and rainbows will break out everywhere.Billnoreply@blogger.com
