No one's in charge, Craig. Dozens of regional and global interests are in play but no one has a trump card. My guess is the Turks will become the dominant regional power, and US will have to stickhandle warily because of Islamic gains on secularism. Putin didn't throw that lifeline because he loved Obama. The Turks, casting their eyes southward, don't want to be dependent on Russia's energy. The Iranians will have their hands full with Turkey. It's the old game. We don't know the half of it, as Wikileaks proves to us again and again

....The Turks, casting their eyes southward, don't want to be dependent on Russia's energy. The Iranians will have their hands full with Turkey. It's the old game.... Interesting possibilities. It does though seem like the shady cave dweller with a vest bomb or AK and a mall, has more world influence than a conventional military. I'd also question if Turkey couldn't somehow or another come up with their own energy. Seems like if the money is followed, qatar wants to be a big dog in the region. As mentioned, cair gets hundreds of audiences with the current folks and policy reflects it. I wonder if aj America becomes a player when propaganda needs to be released on Sundays for the talking point of the coming week.

The Mexicans have their own.....a Double bean burrito with onions.
The liberals are asking us to give Obama time.
We agree, and think 25 to life would be Appropriate.

I think President Obama has just announced to the United Nations that he's directed Sec. State Kerry to politely interact with Iran on a mutually respectful basis their welcome into the group of Nuclear Nations!...Geo Our country should "get into bed" with the Iranians. They have plenty of energy to sell and their population is young full of love for American way of life. Let's face it our current policy in Middle East hasn't worked and will never work.

I agree.
Except for the bed part.
Pull the heck out. And let them sell their damn oil to Europe.
We now have more than they do!

Dave, if you want to bet me $1.00 (gentlemen's bet) that Iran does not posess a nuke by the end of President Obama's lame duck term, you're on...Geo
