But: If Obama were asked his opinion of his foreign policy he would respond with absolute conviction that his foreign policy is a total success everywhere. And by his own metrics, hed be right.
Obama is a man of ideas. And he has surrounded himself with men and women who share his ideas. For Obama and his advisers, what matters are not the facts, but the theoretical assumptions the ideas that determine their policies. If they like an idea, if they find it ideologically attractive, then they base their policies on it. Consequences and observable reality are no match for their ideas. To serve their ideas, reality can be deliberately distorted. Facts can be ignored, or denied. Obama has two ideas that inform his Middle East policy.
First, the Muslim Brotherhood is good. And so his policy is to support the Muslim Brotherhood, everywhere. Thats his idea, and as long as the US continues to support the Brotherhood, its foreign policy is successful. For Obama it doesnt matter whether the policy is harmful to US national security. It doesnt matter if the Brotherhood slaughters Christians and Shiites and persecutes women and girls. It doesnt matter if the Brotherhoods governing incompetence transforms Egypt and Tunisia, and Libya and etc., into hell on earth. As far as Obama is concerned, as long as he is true to his idea, his foreign policy is a success.
Obamas second idea is that the root cause of all the problems in the region is the absence of a Palestinian state on land Israel controls. And as a consequence, Israel is to blame for everything bad that happens because it is refusing to give in to all of the Palestinians demands.
And that is why Kerry keeps running back to Israel, to squeeze massive concessions from the Israelis, who get next to nothing in return.
Sorry Eva but you are wrong.....Obama KNOWS that the Muslim Brotherhood is BAD ASS and HATES AMericans and Christians and THAT”S why he likes them!!! He wants the MB to take over the ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST because they are on the same page!
