"What, one may ask, is the neo-conservative Nuland even doing in the Obama state department, given her absolute committed to the Wolfowitz Doctrine? The answer is that she is a Hillary Clinton appointee, whom Obama could not or would not remove, and the danger of whose approach did not become apparent until too late. This also illustrates the fact that, by now, the making of US foreign and security policy is both so complex and so suffused with domestic rivalries that it often takes a personal intervention by the president to create a major change of course. It seems that given the immense conflicting pressures on them from different groups and lobbies, no other institution is capable any more of drawing up a clear set of US priorities and sticking to them. And the President — to put it mildly — has other things on his mind."
