because "success" is not a word that I'd use to describe US Middle East policy.
If your're interested in what our Trump-hating ruling elite considers successful foreign policy, FP's Twitter post refers to article at https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/12/15/carter-doctrine-rip-donald-trump-mideast-oil-big-think/ .
FYI, Foreign Policy magazine is a project of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
False, Trump has a policy towards the Middle East, it's called "The Art of The Deal" and Strength.
Obama tried bribes and weakness: billions given to terrorists and apologizing for America. Result, more terrorism less influence.
Bush II: Tried aid,talks and positions to little effect.
Clinton: ""
Bush I: ""
Carter: ""
Reagan: ""
We will see whether Trump is succeeding with his policy. So far the funds for Terrorism are largely dried up (oil). The PA knows it is rejecting a huge deal and have shot themselves in the foot and they feel it. Israel loves us again after Obama.
Will we ever see the PA and Israel make a true peace deal? Well, they are in a spiritually intractable position (Death to Israel) and maybe the Art of the Deal might just move it. It's the most pressure put on the PA and the region for peace that I've ever seen. Will it work? We shall see won't we.
The Elites in charge of our disastrous COVID-19 response are a snapshot of a startling fact:
These people and their policies have held sway over us for decades, and yet they never seem to solve anything. Why not try something new? Because for some reason they’re entrenched in never straying far from their version of “tried and true” actions.
You’ll never discover a better way if you aren’t bold enough to search for it.
The lovable CFR checks in.
“RIP The Carter Doctrine”
LMAO, I almost fell out of my chair I laughed so hard.
Besides being previously unsuccessful, he hasn’t abandoned the gulf. He’s allied with the Saudis, still supporting Iraq, and pressuring the Iranians.
“successful” just like the FBI/DOJ prior to Trump were considered “successful”...
I, too, would not consider our ME foreign policy a “success”.
Those that do must have financial interests from such disasters.
Are ‘decades’ including Carter, both Bushes and Obama? I question the sanity of the author.
In what world do you call that hot mess a success?
Professional bullsqueeze.
A little early in the day to start drinking, isn't it?
“four decades of successful U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East”
Of “successful” foreign policy??????
They are joking, right????
40 years of terrorism down the drain...
Could ask our ambassador in Libya how successful our Middle East foreign policy has been. Oh wait never mind.
Wow. Just wow.
Successful policy sets the region on fire?
Yes, “successful” in what sense of the word?

Outside of Israel, the little Satan, the middle east is less than paradise. Unless one considers genocidal regimes from Iraq under Sadaam and Isis, Lebanon under Hizbollah, and Iran under the Mullahs paradise. Hardly our business, but hardly successful. Unless one considers our objective being the expansion of Islam and extermination of Christianity in the region, in which case our policy has been a success. The Jews in the region, though confined to one country, largely take care of themselves.
