Are you confused about the war in the Middle East?

Walt has been preoccupied this week with the queer vibrations emanating from the Vatican, and didn't get around to saying something about the war "we" -- Obama's coalition -- are already losing. Agent 6 has come to the rescue, sending along the following explanation.

We support the Iraqi government in the fight against ISIS.
We don't like ISIS, but ISIS is supported by Saudi Arabia who we do like.
We don't like Assad in Syria. We support the fight against him, but ISIS is also fighting against him.
We don't like Iran, but Iran supports the Iraqi government in its fight against ISIS.

So some of our friends support our enemies, some enemies are now our friends,
And some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies, who we want to lose,
But we don't want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win.
If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they could be replaced by people we like even less.

And all this was started by US invading a country to drive out terrorists
who were not actually there until we went in to drive them out.
