On page 5 of this document http://www.eternalvalue.com/adownload/E ... 14_WEB.pdf
the quote below can be found. I haven't been able to locate the source of the original statement. But I think this writer has summed up the situation perfectly:

Quote:
Are you confused about what’s going on in the Middle East? Let me explain.
Contributed by UK resident Aubrey Bailey to UK DailyMail

We support the Iraqi government in the fight against the Islamic State (IS). We don’t like IS
but IS is supported by Saudi Arabia, whom we do like. We don’t like President Assad. We support the fight against him but not IS which is also fighting against him.

We don’t like Iran but Iran supports the Iraqi government against IS. So, some of our friends support our enemies and some of our enemies are our friends and some
of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies whom we want to lose but we don’t want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win.

If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they might be replaced by people we like even less. And all this was started by us invading a country to drive out errorists who weren’t actually there until we went in to drive them out.

Do you understand now?

Quite a good piece from a good website on the Middle East quagmire.
