Obamaville March 27 - Our Middle East policy - no more good guys, or bad guys - are we at war with ourselves?

.

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


Iran is biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world


We negotiate with Iran to restrain their nuclear program


We help overthrow Libyan dictator


Libya destabilized thanks to us


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


Iran sends troops to help fight ISIS in Iraq


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


Yemen throws out the US from Yemen


Saudi Arabia announces war with Yemen rebels


100 fighter jets and 150,000 troops committed by Saudis


Sunni and Shi'a sects under Islam bitter enemies throughout Middle East


Russia holds key to working with Iran


Obama condemns Russia and imposes sanctions


Up to 10% of Arab population is Christian Arab


US does nothing to help Christian Arabs


Israel is only real ally of US in Middle East


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!
