"No Middle East Strategy"

So says the King of Jordan. What makes this more concerning is the fact that Jordan is one of the more moderate and friendly Arab countries.

(Reuters)Outside powers have dealt with the region in a piecemeal way, the king told BBC World. "Whether it's the Israeli-Palestinian one, whether it's Lebanon or whether it's Iraq or the issue of Iran, I don't think there's an overall strategy," he said.

"This is why I think the Egyptians, the Jordanians and Saudis with a lot of the Arab countries are trying to get a unified position, because we're not seeing the international community dealing with the issues of the Middle East comprehensively," he added.

"The United States, Britain and the European countries as well as Israel have got to listen to what we are saying," he said.

Maybe Bush is a genius after all. Maybe his plan was to mess up the Middle East so much that it would force the other Arab countries to come in a try to fix it. Sort of the "Coalition of the forced"
