Lebanon another problem for Obama ?

Fox News: Reports that the Pro US Government in Lebanon could lose at the next election, the winners would be Iran and Syria. This is the last thing Obama needs, if Iran and Syria cause havoc in Lebanon this could drag in the Israel again, another attack on Lebanon by Israel is the last thing either Obama or Israel needs. Thus lets hope the CIA is spreading the money around to make sure the pro US Government wins. Also that the CIA has not become cautious due to the release of the torture memos, that was the effect after the Congressional Investigations of the 1970s. If Iran and Syria gain more influence in Lebanon this could complicate any talks between the USA and Iran over its nuclear plans. Iran could offer a deal from Lebanon to Iraq, they keep their nose out while USA agrees to Iran becoming a nuclear armed power. The problems is Israel, if Iran goes nuclear, Israel will hit Iran with air power. Also Iran could let the dogs of the lease, Israel could be hit by missile strikes from Lebanon, just to show what they could face if Israel hits Iran. So many powder kegs for Obama to keep an eye on, and he has undercut himself the CIA with the release of the torture memos. Lets hope the CIA stands firm and prevents a pro Iranian and Syrian Government.
