Who will clean up the wreckage caused by the Obama "foreign policy"

Putin in Israel upstages Obama, points up waning U.S. influence  "At the same time, it  points up a corresponding weakening of U.S. influence -- most notably by an inevitable comparison with Barack Obama's failure to visit Israel on his presidential watch.  While Obama was quick to visit Cairo and to reach out to the Arab world after his inauguration, he has yet to set foot in Israel three years later -- an absence that has soured many Israelis.
"Furthermore, Putin's presence in Israel, coupled with Obama's absence, serves to underscore a raft of U.S. diplomatic failures in responding to the "Arab Spring" -- with the White House initially celebrating popular revolutions and then only belatedly discovering the dark side of these upheavals."
Israel to press visiting Putin on Iran  "The Iranian nuclear program will top the agenda — and the steely Russian president, widely viewed as coddling the Iranians, may hold the key to avoiding a potential slide into another Middle East war."


Putin to Israel: Iran won't get a nuclear bomb. No need for an Israeli strike  "The high point of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s noteworthy 90-minute talk with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Monday, June 25, was Putin’s firm assertion that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb. This is disclosed exclusively by DEBKAfile’s Jerusalem and Moscow sources."
Jerusalem Post
Le Point, France: Five months before the presidential elections, Israel is worried about a U.S. policy considered timorous in regards to Iran — worried enough to disrupt the game.  "But Netanyahu, an Israeli who, having spent a portion of his life in the U.S., knows it best, is led to believe that Obama's opponent, Mitt Romney when he declared recently: "If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. If you elect me as president, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon." Netanyahu is skeptical about the chances of Romney winning the White House, but remembers that after his 2008 election, Obama offered a hand to the Iranians to create more normalized relations. And Tehran took the opportunity to accelerate its nuclear program."

Kitabat, Iraq: A Letter to President Obama    
"Would you be incapable of suppressing the militias and other armed groups if they were to attack the people in one of your states and take over the streets? Would you stay at home and leave the people to fend for themselves? So, why did you leave us at the mercy of militias although you are well aware of the situation on the ground? You are the ones who brought about the new complicated situation in Iraq that is prevalent today."
