that since Obama's speech in Cairo Obama has no foreign policy to deal with the Middle East. He gave the specific example of the Green Revolution in Iran, four years ago, where there was no Obama policy. Well Obama did have a policy then. It was to not visibly support the demonstrators in Iran so that the Iranian Regime could not claim it was the Great Satan that was behind the democracy movement there. Did it work? No. The Iranian Regime attacked peaceful, independent demonstrators and the Green Revolution came to an end. Niall Ferguson is a historian. He would know this. Obama did have successful policy in both the Egyptian Spring and the Libyan independence. If you see this "Obama has no Middle East strategy" meme in the weeks to come...shoot it down. LIARS.
