Ouch.

Why the Middle East Won’t Feature in Obama’s Speech
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2044237,00.html?xid=rss-nation-yahoo

It’s a safe bet that the Middle East will get short shrift in President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday. That’s because the speech typically focuses on an Administration’s achievements and on its plans to meet challenges going forward, and the reality is that there’s little in the way of achievements or plans to speak of in relation to the troubled region. In fact, Washington’s position is steadily declining in a number of Middle East flash points, and there’s little the Administration appears able to do about it.

Well, I wouldn’t say he featured the Middle East, but he did point out that 100,000 US troops have been removed from Iraq, and our military presence there is almost over. He also said that troops would begin to come out of Afghanistan this July.
