RE: Ron Paul Institute Exposes The State Department's War On Political Dissent
The generals have a very different view and are actually less hawkish than the last two neocon administrations. They didn't want to occupy Iraq, warned Obama not to destroy Libya, and didn't want to arm Sunni extremists in Syria, another Obama neocon policy that trump ended.
There is now a concrete plan to end US military occupation of Afghanistan, which means crushing the Sunni terrorists that have flourished under 16 years of neocon foreign policy, forcing Pakistan to stop their support of extremists, making the Taliban a lower tier priority(they suck but they are not a threat outside Afghanistan) and getting regional cooperation from Pakistan, China, and India.
It has a chance to work with the military in charge, as opposed to 16 years of neocon insanity.
That's what I thought, too. It's apparent that's not the case now. The overt alliance between US forces and ISIS in E. Ghouta demonstrates that the deep state policy in Syria either never lapsed, or it's been reinstituted.
