Stuart Schneiderman has a post entitled, When You've Lost the AP. He quotes the AP's chief diplomatic correspondent, Matthew Lee:

there are growing fears that the U.S.'s Mideast policy has become rudderless and reactive, and may be contributing to worsening conditions and a rise of Islamic extremism, notably in Syria and Iraq.

Lee goes on to list Obama/Clinton/Kerry failures around the globe.
