Obama promised change, he advocated against war & promoted peace in his initial election. His campaign was so impressive that it won him the Nobel Peace prize as controversial as it may be.

Its no secret Obama reneged on plenty of his initial goals, but currently hes totally copying the same rhetoric put forth by Bush junior during his presidency. American foreign policy hasn't changed at all, its been the same for nearly 50 years but people refuse to acknowledged it.

I'll let the articles speak for themselves, I dug up several old links back when the Iraq war was the hot topic to compare media coverage to today's current coverage against Syria. The similarities are undeniable.

The CIA declassifies all documents after 50 years as per the freedom of information act. This document (http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB...%20history.pdf) details undercover operation in Iran to sack Prime Minister Mossadeq's government. The fact that the CIA and MI6 were involved in toppling a democratically elected leader is not a secret, this is fairly well known. The reason why I posted this document is so you can all see the terminology and methodology of how our intelligence operates in high profile cases.

I'm tired of hearing people asserting that American foreign policy has changed and is not operating the same way it did 50 years ago. The CIA actually has a disinformation department that specializes in causing disarray in a countries government. In Iran they actually paid Iranian citizens to protest against the government in mass to spark a movement against the establishment. I believe the same operation happened in Syria in order to cause chaos to later form an excuse for military intervention.

"The strategy was simple, clear, tried and tested. It had been used successfully not only against Libya, but also Kosovo (in 1999), and was rapidly underway in Syria. It was to run as follows: train proxies to launch armed provocations; label the state's response to these provocations as genocide; intimidate the UN Security Council into agreeing that "something must be done"; incinerate the army and any other resistance with fragmentation bombs and Hellfire missiles; and finally install a weak, compliant government to sign off new contracts and alliances drawn up in London, Paris and Washington, whilst the country tore itself apart.
