This disconnect between the sentiments of the vast majority of Americans, even most of those deluded enough to have helped elect the Pretender, and the government is leading us into a sort of foreign policy schizophrenia and helps explain why the effort to cover up the who's and why's of the Benghazi Massacre is running at a pitch a thousand times anything that occurred during Watergate. If the press was not so fully accomplice with the Democratic Party most people might notice how far things have gone and there could be hew and cry for heads to roll. As it is we are sheep being led to slaughter.
This seems to be the case to me also with regard to state. As for the CIA, I haven’t seen enough to make the case one way or another on this topic.
I do agree with your comments regarding push-back or the lack there-of.
