If you're in doubt, it becomes clear later in the article who these evil political forces are : "...Republican warmongers..." (Put aside for the moment that there is an anti-war wing of the Republican party and no anti-war wing to the Democratic party.)
This is dangerous nonsense. The geopolitical goals that produced - and continue to produce - American mass murder in the Middle East remain those of the Obama administration. Obama's lies about "winding down the war" are for domestic consumption, because the US populace is "war-weary" - i.e., overwhelmingly opposed to war as it was in the late 1960s. But the US government intends to continue its belligerent military action around the world - including an assassination campaign and US death squads ("special forces") in 134 countries - as the only way to maintain its economic hegemony. ("Isolating Russia and China" in the current DC lexicon - and that depends upon controlling Mideast energy flows.) Obama just has to solve a PR problem with the US populace...
It simply supports administration propaganda to argue that Obama is trying to end the war and is prevented by Republicans.
