As seen in previous American "colored revolutions," the original submissiveness to American demands fades after time, leading eventually to counter-colored revolutions, like the recent reversals in Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. With the apparently pro-Moscow tilt of the counter-colored revolutions, we see that anti-American interests are served in the end, meaning that the American colored revolutions produce short-term advantages for the US side, at best. This tells us that Obama can expect to have a 2-4 year window of opportunity to be gained from the wave of smelly revolutions now sweeping N. Africa and the Middle East. "IF" everything goes according to the Imperial plan....
America's big problem is that the revolutions are happening in countries where the people already hate us for empowering the bad guy governments that have tortured and murdered them and their families. For this God-awful plan to succeed, will require deceiving entire populations, for extended periods of time, after the revolutions, but without pre-revolutionary certainty of control.
