That far-Right wing media organ, NBC News<\/a> reports that CIA officer Doug Laux has written a book that tells the story of how he provided a plan that would have resulted in the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad to the Obama Administration back in 2012. A plan that Obama failed to approve;<\/p>\n

Laux, an Indiana native who joined the CIA in 2005 at age 23, says he wrote an “ops plan” that included all the elements he believed were necessary to remove Assad. He was not allowed to describe the plan, but he writes that his program “had gained traction” in Washington. His boss, the head of the Syria task force, regularly briefed members of the Congressional intelligence committees on what Laux was seeing, hearing and suggesting.<\/p>\n

A former senior intelligence official said Laux’s ideas\u2014many of them shared by other members of the CIA’s Syrian task force–were heavily represented in the plan that was ultimately presented to Obama.<\/p>\n

But the president, who must approve all covert action, never gave the green light. The White House and the CIA declined to comment. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s hardly surprising – this administration is the least pro-active presidency in recent history. They seem unwilling to display anything even resembling leadership either at home or in conducting our foreign policy. This administration has no problem using the troops and force to clean up that which has turned to shit, but they don’t want to fix problems before they are problems. From Libya to Syria. From sub-Saharan Africa to Yemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
