He's ahead in the count so that would be pretty surprising news. Where'd you hear those "rumors"?
And Stereotype, for me to claim that Obama has addressed the tangled web you put forth any more than other candidates I'd be lying. If you'd like to read directly what Obama has said about his plan for action in some of countries you have mentioned here are links for you to read:

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/
I do welcome any examples you can find which disprove what is written within the links, I know his stance on Iran is a bit more peachy on his website than he has actually offered to pro-Israel groups: http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/281249,CST-NWS-OBAMA03.article With regards to Syria, I feel his commitment to peaceful negotiation and their involvment in managing boarder crossing militants is better than him threatening them. Bush was a saber rattling asshole which is why he hasn't resolved a single conflict; maybe it's time to try a new approach. That said I can't make claims about the finer points on the smaller diplomatic issues you want answered; I can't about Obama, or really Hillary or McCain. None of them has controlled foreign policy and none that I know of has offered the detailed plan you seem to be seeking. The insults felt by the "Muslim world" or "the Saudis" are perhaps possible outcomes but show me where they are a given. Resolving those concerns is diplomacy, and in those issues all you have portrayed is the complexities of the problems. If one candidate or any person has a perfect answer, I'd like to see it.
Feel free to correct me or rebut what I've said, but I doubt I'll be writing many more paragraphs here for a while.
