...he has bought into the standard leftist argument that failure to solve the Israeli/Pal conflict is the lynchpin upon which all Mideast troubles turn, and must be solved first.
Exactly so. It's the same old insidious rope-a-dope Arab trap that Clinton and Carter fell for and that the current President Bush wisely sidestepped.

...a battle for hegemony... difficult for leftists to notice.
True. It's either blindness or...

...they don't know who they want to win.
...at best, willful ignorance.

most of Obama's foreign policy positions seems to be standard-issue leftist boilerplate. I don't even get the sense that he really owns his positions.
McCain has got to corner Obama into taking specific positions, especially from that stale leftist playbook. I believe that if McCain succeeds in doing so, Obama's run for the White House is over.
