Unless you understood that Obama if fulfilling an Islamic prophecy in engendering what Islamists understand as a ‘John-The -Baptist’ forerunner to the Mahdi or 12th Imam.
He is almost single-handedly attempting to restore the Ottoman empire in the North - and a Sunni Arab Caliphate in the South at the same time.
The ONLY strategy Obama applies, is whatever hurts America and aids Jihadists.
Period. Obama STARTED the Arab Spring protests in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere.
Did he offer money to hundreds of thousands of people in several countries in exchange for them protesting and getting shot down in the streets by regimes they actually liked?
Did he try to arrange for the overthrow of US allies in Bahrain (home of the 5th Fleet) before changing his mind by backing the Saudi intervention?
Makes no sense.

Only the Shiite Muslims believe that whole 12th Imam story and Obama hasn't backed Shiites in the Arab Spring. He allowed them to be crushed in Bahrain and he's currently working with Al Qaeda to defeat them in Syria.
In other words, your theory would better apply to George W. Bush who ousted a Sunni regime in Iraq and allowed the Shiites to take power and link up with Iran.
Was Bush trying to arrange for the return of the 12th Imam? Or could it be that he was intervening in a region he didn't understand, just like every other US President?
