McCain seem to have forgotten the "moderate" we are asked to arm are fighting an ISIS which is itself made up in substantial part of the moderate Sunnis rebels we "empower" to resist El Queda in 2007-2008.
It is not a bad national strategy, now that the U.S. can achieve energy independence while China, our arch rival, still depends on the oil taps in the gulf, for the U.S. to incite as much disturbance as possible in the middle east, and force China to chose between having its oil cut off at the source or bleed cash and blood itself to pacify the quagmire in the middleeast.
But I have learned where American foreign policy is concerned, never ascribe to cunning what can be explained by thoughtless blunder.
