Robert Parry, Consortium News
Parry writes: "Although Obama deserves credit for resisting 'the Washington playbook' on bombing Syria, he can fairly be criticized for ceding to other neocon/liberal-hawk schemes, such as escalating the Afghan War in 2009, recklessly supporting 'regime change' in Libya in 2011, and turning another 'regime change' in Ukraine in 2014 into the start of a new Cold War with Russia."

Rachel Rye Butler, EcoWatch
