Obama’s Hope and Change an Illusion as Wars Rage On

(This video is re-posted from RT America.)

In a speech delivered this morning, President Barak Obama set out some guidelines for the future of the Middle East and North Africa, where unrest and revolt has been all too rampant as of late. While Obama says the present is a “moment of opportunity” to make things better, promises that pegged Obama as a peaceful president at the start of his administration have gone unfulfilled. Instead, America has only extended one war and started another. Nick Turse of TomDispatch.com says he doesn’t have a lot of hope of the President’s most recent rhetoric.
