The quickly-warming relationship between Israel and Egypt was the defining dynamic in the Gaza war. Washington was forced to play second fiddle.

The Obama Administration appears to be treating gains by terror groups around the world as separate, localized problems. But the whole, unfortunately, is greater than the sum of its parts, and that whole amounts to a global conflict that at the moment civilization cannot claim to be winning.

While other items on President Obama’s foreign policy agenda have come and gone, his drive to coming to some kind of agreement with Iran over nuclear weapons has been remarkably consistent. But has the White House carefully considered the strategic consequences of “success”?
