I was listening to the radio tonight and some "expert" was shouting the praises of Obama. Here is the theory; Israel, Jordan, and Egypt have a new tighter relationship which could lead to a military and diplomatic alliance. Why? ISIS. They each fear ISIS and it was Obama that set the whole thing up. By creating a universal enemy in ISIS the more moderate states would join together to combat them.
He also implied that a stronger Iran is forcing Saudi Arabia to step up it's game militarily. The goal is a grand alliance against ISIS and Iran.
