My question: While the USG assists the Maliki government even as it ignores appeals to reform, is it simultaneously reaching out to the non-ISIS forces among the Sunnis, i.e., the tribes and Naqshbandis/Baathis, etc. If so, what is our pitch?
It's less a pitch than grasping at straws.
The US does not have a Middle Eastern foreign policy built on its own national interests and a clear eyed analysis of the region. See Polk essay on this blog for one simple example.
The results aren't pretty. Solutions aren't easy.
