Neoconservative in the Obama era engineered both the rise of the [[Islamic State]] and the [[Syrian War]] which claimed in excess of 400,000 and created more than 6,000,000 homeless refugees.

Neoconservative in the Obama era engineered both the rise of the [[Islamic State]] and the [[Syrian War]] which claimed in excess of 400,000 lives and created more than 6,000,000 homeless refugees abroad.

The original intention of the neocons was regime change in [[Syria]] - the overthrow of [[Bashar Assad]] - without using American troops. Radical Islamic terrorists, many of their leaders supposedly "de-radicalized" while in American detention, were returned to their groups to form new militias armed and trained by American, Turkish, Saudi, and Qatari Special Operations Forces and advisors. By removing the Syrian Alawite regime aligned with [[Iran]], the hope was to rid Syria of [[Hezbollah]], a 10,000 man force which is directly under the command and control of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and deemed a threat to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Gulf states.
