This in Jerusalem Post a pretty bleak assessment of current state of affairs in the Mideast - and quite accurate assessment in most ways, I'd say, pointing out how both Bush's disastrously flawed plans [or lack of a plan altogether] for post invasion Iraq and Obama's utterly misguided foreign policy as a whole have pushed all the wrong buttons and precious few right ones when it comes to dealing with the dysfunctional Muslim polities of the Mideast.

It's a sad tale - and I tend to agree: so many mistakes and misjudgements have been made that I don't know if there's a way out this mess that won't worsen and complicate America's [and by implication, Israel's] security calculations and scenarios no matter which path forward is chosen.
