#1 Iran = China = the ultimate of fundamental question remains the same, i.e. IS THE BAMMER WILLING TO USE US MILITARY POWER IN THE PROMOTION + DEFENSE OF OVERSEAS ALLIES + HIS OWN "OBAMA DOCTRINE"; OR WILL HE ADHERE TO HIS ALLEGED
"MINIMALIST" FOREIGN POLICY(S) + DO LITTLE OR NOTHING AS MUSHROOM CLOUDS FORM AROUND THE WORLD.

... BECAUSE THE DEBT/SEQUESTER-RIDDEN US CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO INTERVENE???

E.G. IIRC TOPIX > [Commentary Magazine] RUSSIA BELIEVES OBAMA WILL BAIL ON SYRIA.

versus

* SAME, WORLD NEWS > OBAMA: US AT "CROSSPROADS" IN WAR ON TERROR.

Decisive Gettysburg or Antietam, versus First Bull Run aka "The Great Skedaddle" of the defeated Union Army back to Washington DC.

"LOOK, MEN, THERE'S THE BAMMER N-O-T STANDING LIKE A STONE WALL [Stonewall Jackson] - DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT RALLY AROUND THE VIRGINIANS"!

#3 He sold his soul for shiny medals and financial perks and circuses long agoand as his record shows, he will roll over again and again. Recall how Petraeus fell into lock-step rank-and-file with President Obama and Hillary Clinton when he joined them in falsely misleading America before the 2012 elections by blaming an out-of-control demonstration prompted by a Youtube video for the Benghazi attack to the House Intelligence Committee three days after the attack. Hes as dirty as they are.

Not excusing him, but they had him by the balls, right where they wanted him. It's the Chicago way.

#4 The attack in Benghazi...was not a terrorist attack; it was a nation-state attack

Pretty much what was surmised here at the Burg in the immediate aftermath, though I would not specifically name Iran as the nation-state.
