Mr. and Mrs. Kerry and Mr. and Mrs. Assad, during a private lunch in a restaurant in Damascus in 2009.
Here is Thierry Meyssan's view of what will be Obama's foreign policy.
It is not necessarily our view.
Obama II: the Purge of the Generals and the Pact - with Russia, Iran and Syria against China.

With greater legitimacy brought about by his re-election, President Barack Obama is preparing to launch a new foreign policy.
This is due to:
1. The relative economic weakness of the United States.
2. The need to give up the idea of the USA governing the world alone.
US forces will continue their departure from Europe, and their partial withdrawal from the Middle East, so that more can now be positioned around China.
The idea is to weaken the Russian-Chinese alliance and get Russia to share the burden of the Middle East.
The idea is to weaken the Russian-Chinese alliance and get Russia to share the burden of the Middle East.
Therefore, the USA is ready to implement the agreement on Syria concluded on 30 June in Geneva.
(This means the deployment of a UN peacekeeping force; and keeping in power Bashar al-Assad, who is popular with his people).
This new foreign policy faces strong resistance in Washington.

In July, organized leaks in the press had scuppered the Geneva Agreement and Kofi Annan was forced to resign.
This sabotage seems to have been organised by a group of senior officers who do not accept the end of their dream of global empire.
At no time was this issue raised during the presidential election campaign; the two main candidates agree on the new policy, but disagree on the way to present it.
Obama, on the night of his victory began a purge which had been quietly prepared for months.
General David Petraeus resigned as Director of the CIA.
The heads of many other senior officers roll in the dust...
One thinks also, for instance of the premature death of General Omar Suleiman (Egypt).... or the attack against Prince Bandar bin Sultan (Saudi Arabia), seven days later.
Assad and his friend Kerry.
It remains for Barack Obama to compose his new cabinet by finding men and women able to accept the new policy.
It relies primarily on former Democratic candidate for president and current chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate, John Kerry.
Already Moscow has stated that his appointment would be welcomed.
Above all, Kerry is known for being "an admirer of President Bashar al-Assad" ( The Washington Post ); they have often met in previous years [ 1 ].
The question is whether the Democrats can accept losing a Senate seat, and if Kerry will be the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense...
Brennan.
John Brennan, known for its particularly dirty and brutal methods, could become the next CIA director.
He would be responsible for turning the page of the Bush years by:
1. Liquidating the jihadists, who worked for the CIA
2. Dismantling Saudi Arabia, which is no longer useful...
Zionist, and yet realist, Antony Blinken could become national security adviser.
This could awaken the plan... to make peace in the Middle East based on ... Assad.

The policy shift has already materialized with the resumption of secret negotiations with Tehran.
The policy shift has already materialized with the resumption of secret negotiations with Tehran.
Indeed, the new situation requires abandoning the policy of isolating Iran and finally recognize the Islamic Republic as a regional power.
First consequence: the construction of the pipeline linking Iran's South Pars gas field, the largest in the world, Damascus and the Mediterranean and Europe may be resumed...
The new foreign policy of Obama II will change the Middle East in 2013 in the opposite direction to that reported in the Western media and the Gulf.
