I think this needs to be put into context. Following 9/11, the Bush administration adopted the neoconservative plan to overthrow regimes that were threatening Israel and US interests. This did not work, especially in the case of Iraq. Iran seemed to have gained influence within Iraq. There was fighting between Sunni and Shia and Kurdish wanted to develop their own state. The Iraq war was expensive and a mess.
Once Obama was elected, this plan to overthrow these regimes was put side. Obama's foreign policy adviser Brzenki was far more concerned with Russia and China. Both Russia and China are more powerful and are a significant threat to the US. Brzenski is aware that a war with Russia and China is not practicable. So he advocates bringing Russia and China into some sort of conflict, probably over resources. This is why Obama attacked Pakistan which George Bush, John McCain and Hillary Clinton were against. Pakistan and China are allies and to weaken Pakistan will limit China's strategic position.
I heard that China relies on Sudan for its resources. If the US is able to prevent Sudan allowing China to gain its resources, China will have to rely on Siberia to gain its resources. This will bring Russia and China into some sort of conflict.
Not sure if this is true, but speculation.
