"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.

Eisenhower warns of military-industrial complex - Jan 17, 1961 - HISTORY.com
Ike was not joking.
Well, Ike was correct.
Here is Military Industrial Complex trying to remove a duly elected president and the left fascists are urging them to continue.
Go fig.

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.
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.

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 is true that he inherited the messes in AfPak and Iraq.
BUT NOT IN SYRIA, THAT IS OBAMA'S MESS.
For some reason the peace loving ---anti-war" president chose to attack Syria and remove Assad WITHOUT PROVOCATION.

Yep.
My point is that they are issues because the CIA somehow PERSUADED him that he had to get involved.

I'm thinking that that is why he has kept his personal security people on.
I haven't read anything but the Original Post....so I apologize if I am redundant to any other post.
But, I disagree with the Original Post.
Obama isn't being threatened by anyone to take a more aggressive military posture.
He thinks only in terms of politics. After eight years, the whole man is before us. And the fact that politics is all he knows ought to be clear to all but the willingly blind. He cares about Politics and His Legacy. His Marxist Agenda and his Ego.
He is suddenly aggressive, if that is what it is to be called...because he has realized:
That his much lusted after Legacy in foreign affairs is going to be that of a Pussy....and he has only a few days left to clean that up; and in cleaning it up, he also has a chance to leave a political mess for his successor; i.e. Politics---never mind what is best for America; it is better to hurt Republicans than to help America.
Six Days to go and then:
Goodbye to the Marxist Pussy who put America third....behind his Politics and his Ego.
