President Obama believes he has the situation well in hand, that the cacophony of sound emanating from the Middle East can be turned to soothing music when he steps to the podium, bows to the audience, and raises his baton.

It’s Assad day in the Middle East

When guys can’t get along

And brother Muslims get deceased

For singing the wrong song

The Sunnis sing the song off key

The Shia hum the words

They hate each other but agree

They both hate all the Kurds

The Turks are singing softly

While Iran is singing bass

Obama, grinning loft’ly

Has the notes but not the place

But not to worry kiddies

For the song will sound much worse

When the ships and planes and Middies

Sing the chorus and last verse
