tomdispatch. bob dreyfuss notes, america is in a death spiral in the middle east and obomba inc. is looking back on bush co. as the  halcyon days of simple bloodbath. he notes further (i'm only on the first paragraph) obomba is the rodney dangerfield of the middle east. but rodney dangerfield has a gentility and humor obomba will never be endowed with. unfortunately he's not just a bungling politician but a bungling paid assassin.
