How Obama Went From Being a Peace Candidate to a War President


Upon entering office, the president promised to end the wars of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, reset American relations with Russia, and give priority to rebuilding the American middle class. Now, after being “pulled back in” by liberal interventionists and neoconservative hawks both inside and outside his administration, he finds himself pursuing a new open-ended war against the so-called Islamic State (ISIS), prosecuting an expanded counterterrorism campaign from Central Asia to North Africa, overseeing a new Cold War with Russia, and pivoting toward what could become one with China in East Asia.

What did the CIA threaten to expose if Obama didn't comply with the CIA's demands?

"It’s worth noting that many of the people pulling Obama into these strategic choices are the same ones who cheered us into the war in Iraq. Such credentials should have thoroughly discredited them. But over the last several years, they have had a disproportionate influence in shaping a narrative of US foreign policy that is almost as misguided as the one they spun in the lead-up to the Iraq War."

War is part of this world...So should we just let the terrorist attack us and do nothing?

You don't live in reality.

I'm not aware of Obama's having asked for a declaration of war on anyone.

How the Obama economy stacks up, by the numbers

Yes, looking at the charts at the link above, one can isolate on this or that measure of the economy and cry foul and failure, but taken in total and on balance, I think it's clear that economically and financially, the nation as a whole is better off now than in 2009 when Obama's tenure began.

That is correct.

Somehow the CIA got Obama to comply with its directives

"Eisenhower warns of military-industrial complex"
On this day in 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower ends his presidential term by warning the nation about the increasing power of the military-industrial complex.

His remarks, issued during a televised farewell address to the American people, were particularly significant since Ike had famously served the nation as military commander of the Allied forces during WWII. Eisenhower urged his successors to strike a balance between a strong national defense and diplomacy in dealing with the Soviet Union. He did not suggest arms reduction and in fact acknowledged that the bomb was an effective deterrent to nuclear war. However, cognizant that America’s peacetime defense policy had changed drastically since his military career, Eisenhower expressed concerns about the growing influence of what he termed the military-industrial complex.

Kennedy had already averted a War in Cuba with Russia, he had already had it out with CIA Director Dulles and made the decision to disband it. Dulles was in cahoots with Daddy Bush and The Murchison's in Texas who were after the Oil that had been discovered in Cuba.

War, Oil and CIA all being thwarted by JFK. Do the math.

Incorrect.

The CIA wanted to remove Assad, allow Israel to retain the Golan Heights and to weaken Syria.

Congress would not send in ground troops so Obama used ISIS as ground troops.

Half a century after JFK’s death, in a once-secret report written in 2013 by the CIA’s top in-house historian and quietly declassified last fall, the spy agency acknowledges what others were convinced of long ago: that McCone and other senior CIA officials were “complicit” in keeping “incendiary” information from the Warren Commission.

There is a reason that Dulles was on the Warren Commission.

Since DJT is not as malleable as Obama they want to remove him from office by any means necessary.
