Hillary and Obama were, of course, completely delusional about the middle east.
Politico has a complete description of the Free Fall in the Middle East. This has been going on for 50,000 years, way before the Persians. This is the spot where humanoids leave Africa and get evolved into humans who can live up north and enjoy Swedish welfare.
Politico: Barack Obama faces a slew of Middle East crises that some call the
worst in a generation, as new chaos from Yemen to Iraq — along with
deteriorating U.S.-Israeli relations — is confounding the president’s
efforts to stabilize the region and strike a nuclear deal with Iran.
The
meltdown has Obama officials defending their management of a region
that some call impossible to control, even as critics say U.S. policies
there are partly to blame for the spreading anarchy.
“If there’s one lesson this administration has learned, from
President Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech through the Arab Spring, it’s that
when it comes to this region, nothing happens in a linear way — and
precious little is actually about us, which is a hard reality to
accept,” said a senior State Department official.
Not everyone is so forgiving. “We’re in a goddamn free fall here,”
said James Jeffrey, who served as Obama’s ambassador to Iraq and was a
top national security aide in the George W. Bush White House.
For
years, members of the Obama team has grappled with the chaotic
aftermath of the Arab Spring. But of late they have been repeatedly
caught off-guard, raising new questions about America’s ability to
manage the dangerous region.
Obama officials were surprised
earlier this month, for instance, when the Iraqi government joined with
Iranian-backed militias to mount a sudden offensive aimed at freeing the
city of Tikrit from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Nor did
they foresee the swift rise of the Iranian-backed rebels who toppled
Yemen’s U.S.-friendly government and disrupted a crucial U.S.
counterterrorism mission against Al Qaeda there.
Both situations
took dramatic new turns this week. The U.S. announced its support for a
Saudi-led coalition of 10 Sunni Arab nations that began bombing the
Houthis, while Egypt threatened to send ground troops — a move that
could initiate the worst intra-Arab war in decades.
