Strange bedfellows award: 49 GOP Senators and Iranian hardliners, US and Iranian special forces, Turkey and ISIS

Strange bedfellows award:
The 49 Senators who signed the letter to Iran lecturing them about how temporary  agreements are on nuclear control  signed by the President.  They have become  fellow travelers with the hardliners in Iran who do not want an agreement either.

Tikrit:  The Iranian Revolutionary Guards special forces  guiding the Shia militias  just as the US is guiding the Iraqi forces in the attack on Tikrit.  The US is claiming no coordination with the Iranians...only with Baghdad (who is mostly Shia and close to Iran, in any case)

Syrian border: Turkey who is more concerned about  Kurd forces gaining support and strength  or Shia and Assad in Syria  than about ISIS than doing all it can to keep foreign fighters using Turkey as a transit  point to join ISIS, though Turkey is doing more lately to stop those transiting.  Turkey is now pointing the finger at the West , challenging them to do more to stop ISIS joiners from entering Turkey.  Both ISIS and Turkey would like to rid Syria of Assad.

What strange webs we weave in conduct  of foreign policy.
