It is all there now for us to see. Decades of cynical, poorly devised policy in the Middle East, vacant of any principle our indispensable nation purports to advance, return as we speak to bite our president and his foreign policy cliques on their backsides. The shambles that now ensues serves them right, absolutely.
With the sudden ignition of smoldering hostilities between Iran and Saudi Arabia last weekend—the Iranians managing this more correctly than the Saudis—at last the veil drops to expose the gross duplicity, not to say stupidity, of Washington’s alliances in the region. At last we can talk about the unclothed emperor. And it is our responsibility to do so.
One would never argue that the chaos into which the Middle East now descends is all President Obama’s doing. It is not, by a long way. The music simply stopped on his watch, and it is he who is left to grope for a chair. No solicitude and no empathy, however. The bitter reality is that our hope-and-change president, as a drone-addicted assassin signing death warrants on a routine basis, bears as much responsibility for the messes he now confronts as any of those predecessors who shaped them.

I am shocked
You’re not the only one. I’m expecting flying pigs today.
And if we want more of the same, elect Hillary, the champion of Arab Spring and Islamic Democracy. That inebriated, bug eyed, mental defect will have the Muslim Brotherhood running this country, while Christians are locked up in mass, and murdered on the streets. She is a thousand times worse than Merkel. When our women start getting raped by Muslim savages, Hillary will tell them to wear pantsuits. Meanwhile, the world will blow up.
Someone has to own up to it, either POTUS or his Secretary of State.
Or maybe his former Secretary of State?
Who's running for election and needs the Media's protection?
Da**. I figured Salon was published right from the White Hut...
me too. this is a staunchly liberal publication stating much of what we have for a few years now. Not in agreement that Iran and or Russia are our natural allies but we have no need of Erdogan and Obama’s obsession with regime change in Syria is totally off the mark.
