"Campaigning for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008, Senator Barack Obama said, 'I don't want to just end the war, but I want to end the mindset that got us into war in the first place.'
But as Andrew Bacevich notes in his new book, 'Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War,' as President, Barack Obama has done the opposite: he has promoted and acted on behalf of the mindset that leads to war."
Was Barack Obama intimidated by his first meetings with the Joint Chiefs of Staff? What other explanation could there be for his rapid shift in ideology? How does a man who campaigned as an opponent of war so readily become a war advocate?
