Obama is a jerk. If he’s a Sunni sympathizer, he’s groveling for Erdogan. If he’s a Shiite sympathizer, or just currying short-term favor with the Iranians to complete some ludicrous pretense of a nuke deal, he’s a groveling idiot. Or, maybe he just doesn’t like the Kurds.
The Kurds are too white for his tastes.
Remember that back in the early days Kurds took out newspaper and TV ads to thank America for what we'd done for them and (the former) Iraq.
That alone probably has Mr. Soetero gnawing on his own leg.
My take is Obama is minimally involved. He hates foreign policy. He loves domestic policy which is mostly vote buying, wealth redistribution, and racial agitation. My take is the useless females who run the State Department are calling the shots here which is pure mixed up confusion plus enabling Iran to get the bomb because they hate Israel. Plus brain addled septuagenarian John Kerry who is pure glory seeker with zero principles. FUBARED TO THE MAX!!!
