Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern says Barack Obama’s national security appointments suggest no fundamental changes in U.S. foreign policy.

McGovern says these appointments demonstrate a continuation of the mentality that led the United States into wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and now again,  Afghanistan.

(The story summary continues below.)

This mentality of going to war for the ostensible purpose of liberating people – while actually wreaking widespread havoc – results from  a lack of diversity in the kind of advisers Presidents have chosen to surround themselves with, according to McGovern, who sees little difference in Obama's Cabinet.
