I'm pretty sure our (U.S.) strategy is to keep the Middle East in a constant state of unrest. Play one side against the other and if any faction becomes too powerful - knock it down to keep an even par.
Whatever means justify those ends will more that likely be employeed. Our Mid-East policy hasn't changed for 30 or 40 years, despite the rhetoric.

And Americans are totally ignorant of it -
they wonder why Iranians and Iraqi's hate America - well, let's see - for 30-40 yrs, we've sold weapons to one side so they could kill the other -
and we did it interchangably between the two sides for 30-40 years depending on whether they were our ally or not - and now we're going after them both and they want our blood as repayment.
sheeit - I'd hate us too.

Its not good but at least setting one side against another is a coherent foreign policy - much loved by the British before we lost the plot.
Now the foreign policy seems to be to unite our enemies against us. If that's the plan its being executed brilliantly but as that plan makes no sense I assume it's stunning incompetence.
[or we could view it as the plan of the other side being brilliantly executed by them]
