    Great Post

    I'm glad you mentioned the bombing of the Al Jazeera station. I'm not sure there even is another power that has done something like that as consistently to observers of conflicts (the China Embassy bombing in Kosovo) as the US and her allies in these international coalition shindigs.

    But this?

    I'm both entirely unsurprised and basically undisturbed

    I'm thinking you went a bit too far in the jaded prescience department. I expected no less from Obama as well. But I am disappointed and disturbed. And so are you, otherwise you wouldn't be writing this.
