But a closer examination of U.S. policies, now almost entirely dictated by the Obama White House, shows no cohesive national goals or policies exist, but rather an ad hoc set of actions and reactions, which are largely dictated either by ideological positions, ignorance, whim, or perceived expedience.

Is playing "king of the hill" a strategy?
Well if there is one, it will have Special Operations in the lead implementation role...
Look at the two boats seized by Iran the other day...
Their strategy is to incite civil war.
"Does the US have a Middle East Strategy going forward?"
The same as it has been for decades: protect the oil dictatorships and recycle petrodollars. And ensure the moronic media keep peddling the lie that the US is keeping the peace, when in fact it is fanning the flames of war.
"Look at the two boats seized by Iran the other day..."
They weren't seized, as everybody acknowledges. The boats had some sort of mechanical failure, drifted into Iranian waters and then either ran aground or nearly ran aground on Iranian territory. The Iranians picked them up and let them go. If anything, they saved them.
No need to wonder what the reaction would have been if the Iranian navy was spotted off the US coast and entered US territorial waters.
"Well if there is one, it will have Special Operations in the lead implementation role..."
Correct, and they have been for a very long time. But they can only do so much. After all, if the whole US military can't beat a bunch of illiterate Afghan hillbillies dressed in sandals and armed only with rifles and pickup trucks, who are they going to beat? They could try invading Grenada again. They did successfully save Grenada from a Marxist-Leninist threat that didn't exist. OOH RAH, motherfuckers!
