Iran Bet On Arab Spring and LOST

Could Iran be coming down due to betting on controlling the Arab Spring?

It's a global game of chess we're seeing..not checkers. This is a long term event we're watching, and it's still in the opening segment, IMO. It's still quite possible this all plays out in ways we can't even predict yet, and I doubt that turns out to be a positive thing. It just doesn't seem to go that way these days.

I sure wouldn't count anything out though. Analysis from sources just a hair more professional that the overpaid gomers on MSM are noting the long term efforts Iran has been pursuing in stage managing much of this for MANY years. I think writing any kind of ending at this point in the process is extremely premature.....We have a LONG way yet to go.
