• ‘Deep State’ Elements Pushing for Syrian Conflict – Dennis Kucinich Tells Larry King
  by https://www.rt.com/
  Former Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich told RT’s Politicking that there are ‘deep state’ elements influencing US foreign policy, citing examples from the Trump, Obama, and Bush administrations.
  –
  The current Ohio gubernatorial candidate claimed there are elements in the Pentagon, the State Department, and the CIA trying to influence the Trump administration to be “more hawkish, more interventionist.”
  –
  “Frankly it appears they have succeeded,” he told host Larry King, apparently referring to recent US airstrikes in Syria, before giving examples of similar action taken by Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. In the latter’s case, the president was pushed to attack Iraq by the Pentagon and the State Department, Kucinich said. “Bush didn’t understand international relations.”
  –
  Kucinich also blamed these agencies for foiling a potential ceasefire tabled by the Obama administration in Syria: “A few days after that, without the president’s say so, there was an attack on a Syrian army base that killed 100 soldiers – Russia pulled out of the deal.” “Who did that? The president? No. It was done extra constitutionally by elements in the Pentagon, in the CIA and in the State Department.”
