Exactly. America has lost the contest for the ME, just as Obama wanted, and now the process of the isolation of Israel begins.
Any ordnance used in the Syrian debacle will be like flushing good down the toilet, further disempowering our US military without making any progress towards re-establishing US influence in the Pacific or the ME.
In short we are robbing Peter to just pretend to pay Paul.

Yes, and eventually that isolation will have them accept the so-called peace deal. I believe the creation of the “Palestinian state” is the division of Israel and the covenant of “peace” that will be “assured” for seven years.
