I am not sure that I understand this:

"It should support allies under extreme pressure such as Jordan, while also working to ensure that allies such as the Gulf states and Turkey align their strategies and policies more consistently with U.S. objectives. More broadly, it should recognize the political roots of ISIL’s spread, and refocus its efforts to promote political reforms and curb the human rights abuses which fuel popular anger and alienation."  How does the first objective square with the second objective? How does support for the Jordanian autocracy square with support for human rights and political reforms?
