Lemme just add a couple more insights into "our" stance in the ME. One from the current SoS and one from the former.

From John Kerry, a couple of weeks ago: The U.S. is engaged in a "three-pronged strategy," Kerry insisted, to degrade and defeat ISIS as well as "stabilize the region" and then push for a diplomatic solution to push Assad from power.

The next morning in the newspaper: "But in a remarkable break with the administration, Mrs. Clinton declared publicly what White House officials have privately said for months: that the fight in Syria is no longer about ousting President Bashar al-Assad. "We need people to turn against the common enemy of ISIS," she said. In saying so, Mrs. Clinton seemed to align her strategic approach more closely with those of Russia and Iran, who are backing the Assad government, though she criticized both nations in her speech Thursday.

Hope that helps.

Not sure if it helps.

But thanks.

Sunni vs. Shiite, and I’m not sure where 0bama stands.

Advancing war between the two seems clear to me.

Pulling the west into the war seems even more clear.

I gut says that he is more Shiite than Sunni.

At the end of the day I don’t think 0bama really cares about which version of Islam wins. As long as there is a war against the west and Christianity.

Recognizing the “Legitimacy” of either flavor of Islam and it’s place on the worlds stage is his goal.
