On September 10, 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama announced a new strategy for fighting the extremist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIL).1 It is generally considered that this marks a major turn in US' Middle Eastern strategy, and observers have commented that the U.S. may have got itself once again "mired in the Middle East". How can we accurately assess U.S. Middle Eastern strategy? And how should we read Obama's "anti-terror New Deal"? This paper tries to answer these questions as well as analyze the U.S.' overall American Middle Eastern strategy.
