U.S. Amb. To Saudi Arabia: U.S. Foreign Policy Will Change After Obama Victory -- Weekly Standard

The U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Smith, told the Arabic news outlet Asharq Al-Awsat that American foreign policy will now change after President Barack Obama's reelection. Smith made the comments at an election night party at his residence.

Ambassador Smith "stressed the desire of President Obama to resolve a number of foreign issues, most notably restoring negotiations between the Israeli and Palestinian sides, responding more strongly to Iran, and working with allies to end the Syrian crisis, in addition to providing support for the new governments in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, and assisting the current Yemeni President," Asharq Al-Awsat reported.

My Comment: I just do not see any change happening. The focus in the Middle East is on Syria, and this is a civil war that has the potential to drag on for another year or two .... and any recovery after that even longer. And aside from giving support to countries like Tunisia, Libya, and Yemen .... which they are doing now anyway .... not much is going to change on these issues either.
