Contrary to popular belief, American policy is not created by
politicians either in the Oval Office or in Congress. Instead, doctrine,
war plans, domestic and foreign economic policy, and geopolitical and
strategic plans laid out for years to come, originate in
corporate-financier funded think tanks and among the army of academics,
industry leaders, and other lobbyists of special interests employed by
them. These think tanks and the policymakers that work within them are
unelected, transcending political party lines, and political
administrations.
Thus, the criticism from across American foreign policy circles in the
wake of the UN General Assembly, reveals precisely where America’s true
problems lie. It was their policy that President Obama was attempting to
present to the world at the UN General Assembly. President Obama wasn’t
upstaged because he is a poor orator or because he depends on
incompetent speechwriters, but because nothing the United States is
truly doing around the world could be honestly presented to the public,
leaving only the same tired rhetoric and boundless hypocrisy that even
the least observant among us are beginning to notice.This can best be
illustrated in Syria, where the United States claims to be committed to
defeating terrorism, all while it transparently supports terrorist
militants in its goal to overthrow the government in Damascus. Thus,
President Obama’s talking points during the UN General Assembly
regarding Syria rang particularly hollow. Conversely, when Russia stated
that it planned to defeat terrorism in Syria, the world could already
see clearly that it has been Russia supporting the only force within
Syria’s borders confronting terrorism – the government in Damascus.
