It used to be we needed a scorecard to figure out what the
Obama Administration was doing in the Middle East ,
as the policy seemed to be all over the place.
Obama milestones
We pulled out of Iraq
We sent troops back to Iraq - at least 10,000
We start massive bombing of ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria
We want Syrian President Assad overthrown
We help Assad fight ISIS terrorists
We negotiate with Iran to restrain their nuclear
program
We help overthrow Libyan dictator
Terrorists kill Americans in Libya
Jordan troops
attack rebels in Libya
We pulled out of Afghanistan
More troops will remain in Afghanistan
We like Israel
We are reassessing our relationship with Israel
We might send arms to the Kurds fighting the ISIS terrorists
We bomb ISIS targets around Iranian troops in Iraq
Coalition troops in Iraq refuse to fight if US continues to bomb Iraq
Obama likes our position in Yemen
100 fighter jets and 150,000 troops committed by Saudis
Sunni and Shi'a sects under Islam bitter enemies throughout Middle East
Obama condemns Russia and imposes sanctions
Up to 10% of Arab population is Christian Arab
US does nothing to help Christian Arabs
Israeli PM Netanyahu travels to China
and Russia
to hedge bets
In politics, there is an old saying that we will double
cross that bridge when we get to it. Our
current foreign policy in the Middle East has
mastered the theory of double-crossing our opponents and allies alike.
Now it seems we have gotten to the point that our strange
alliances and initiatives have pushed us into a war with ourselves in our
efforts to appease every faction in the Middle East .
Beyond that, is there anyone on earth who trusts the word of
the Obama Administration or believes we will stand behind what we say?
Sometimes the bizarre foreign policy of the Obama
Administration seems to have come from an Ouija board gone mad.
Will it ever end?
Is this really the legacy we should leave the world?
We should be ashamed!
