Ping Pong

Most of our problems in the Middle East have to do with our inserting ourselves in the middle of the centuries-long conflict between the Shia and Sunni Muslims. Our overturning of Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, made the Iraqi Shia believe we were on their side ... and Obama’s sucking up to Iran (Shia) reinforced this notion.

But Trump’s dumping of the Iran nuclear deal seemed to indicate we favored the Sunnis. However, the ISIS caliphate was Sunni-based ... and Hillary, with Obama’s permission, seemed to favor these butchers.Then Trump destroyed this caliphate ... with some help from Iran.

And the Shia-Sunni blood feud is also being replicated elsewhere throughout the Middle East ... Saudi Arabia. Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Oman, Turkey, Yemen, Pakistan, Egypt, Gaza ... all but Pakistan predominately Sunni ... where America has difficult problems ... making things even more complex.

And so it goes, back and forth between these Muslim sects (and other offspring sub-sects) like a ping pong match on an Islam table covered in blood. Unfortunately, our troops represent the ping pong ball ... batted back and forth at the cost of U.S. soldiers’ lives and limbs.

Snub Hub

The leaders of four Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia, have snubbed President Obama's Mideast summit at Camp David tomorrow ... instead sending ministerial-level representatives ... see: BBC Story. Other than Saudi Arabia, the leaders of Bahrain, Oman, and the UAE will not be there. Only the leaders of Kuwait and Qatar will be attending.

The surmised reasons for these snubs has been that these countries disapprove of President Obama's dealings in his nuclear talks with Iran and his lack of follow-through in his missile-strike threat to Syria in 2013.

However, there might be two other possible motivations for these snubs:

1) These oil-rich countries may be doing an end-zone victory dance after effectively crippling the oil shale industry in the United States ... see: CNBC Story.

2) There might be considerable resentment among some of these players about not getting their money's worth with their hefty donations to the Clinton Foundation,
