    The USA has a credibility problem in the Middle East:
    -it debunked a secular system of Sadam Hussein only to see ISIS/Sunni/ Muslim Brotherhood take over.
    -fought a bitter war against the Taliban only to see them return.
    -supported Egypt/North African Arab Spring only to see the Muslim Brotherhood fill the vacuum
    -supported anti Syrian Rebels alongside AlQueda & ISIS Sunnis against a secular Syrian Asad Government


    With respect to the Middle East, Uncle Sam has to be up front about its political/economic model.
    If that is free market economics with representative Democracy then there is little point in
    supporting Muslim groups who believe in neither.

    Has Uncle Sam got a Middle East cred. problem?
    I think so.
