Truthout - "Obama's Wars" and the Importance of Reportage

[Doctor_J]

From truthout, not a right-wing rag like WaPo

Bob Woodward's "Obama's Wars" offers a disturbing account of President Barack Obama's lack of leadership and the flawed decision-making practices of his national security team. Although Woodward never explicitly says so, he makes a strong case that President Obama has redefined and expanded a war that neither he nor his leading advisers believe will end successfully for the United States. The bottom line is that Obama endorsed a decision in which he almost certainly doesn't believe.

This raises questions about all of O's neoconish moves - wars, amnesty for Bush & Cheney, Big Insurance windfall, Wall Street pandering, refusal to take on the wingers even though they are pretty much treasonous in their treatment of him...

Is he a neocon himself? An appeaser? A placeholder in between Bushes, hand-picked by the ruling class?
