How is the Arab Spring going for the United States of America -- ah, not good.

You should know that the Muslim Brotherhood has become the primary influence in Egyptian politics, much to the disappointment of all in the West. And now, we are being told that the Libyan rebels have been aided, 'discreetly,' by Iran.

"We were in touch with many of the rebel groups in Libya before the fall of (Moamer) Kadhafi, and discreetly dispatched three or four food and medical consignments to Benghazi," according to an Iranian spokesman. "The head of the National Transitional Council (NTC), Mustafa Abdel Jalil, sent a letter of thanks to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for having been on their side and helping," he added.

Jay Leno pronounces the Iranian leaders name, "Mahmoud AhmadI'm-a-nut-job."

Since the Libyan uprising erupted in mid-February, Iran has adopted a dual approach -- criticizing the Gadhafi regime for its assaults on the rebels while condemning U.S. military intervention. Because of Iran's place in the Arab world, it may have more influence over Libyan reorganization than we are being told by the Obama Administration.

In the end, after all is said and done, the turmoil in the Middle East may not benefit our interests in the slightest. Political grandstanding without a carefully crafted diplomacy may prove to be a major embarrassment to the Obama Regime. Time will tell, but, currently, it is not looking good for Mr. O.
