I agree with most of your predictions, but to be fair a lot of these failures are the result of Bush's policies. Obama is making things worse but he did inherit a lot of these problems. We also shouldn't forget that Bush did not make a move regarding the Iranian nuclear issue. That does not excuse Obama in any way. He is still willfully naive. I hope he sobers up soon.

Oh and I suppose I disagree with your #3 prediction. I foresee Obama still kissing up to Arabs and appeasing- excuse me- negotiating with them during the years he remains in office.

Edit - I think I also disagree with your #7. I see Lebanon remaining a non-functioning state although in even worse shape, Hezbollah (Iran) ruled with Syria retaking the country in everything but name. I don't see Syria planting their flag or sending in their army to occupy the country. Things are working out so much better for them the way it is now. They have their proxies and political stooges representing them, and are still able to bleed Lebanon's economy dry. They will also be able to keep Lebanon as a base for attacking Israel while denying any wrongdoing.
