Apparently it is just too complicated to remember to support friends and oppose enemies:
President Barack Obama's diplomatic overtures to old foe Iran and his last-minute refusal to attack Syria have officials in Israel, the Gulf countries and Turkey wondering if Washington is deliberately neglecting them to avoid being dragged into a Middle East facing deeper sectarian strife and concerns that Tehran may be seeking a nuclear bomb.
You mean our pivot to the Pacific was just an excuse to pivot away from the Middle East? Get outta here!
Should we have announced a pivot to Asia when increasingly it seems only to be an excuse for the Obama administration to pivot away from CENTCOM?
Wonder no more.
We'll likely get the wars we want to avoid but without the allies we alienate in the process.
