Did Soros’ media influence impact wars in Iraq, Afghanistan?

Remember the vicious behavior the left displayed whenever the topics of Iraq, Afghanistan and President George W. Bush came up? From Code Pink to Democrats like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) came accusations that Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction. Anti-war protests were common. Legacy media picked up the meme. And one of the Democrats’ most influential benefactors devoted some of his wealth to elections in the U.S., with a key goal of limiting Bush to one term.  

George Soros is in the news again, not for politics or wealth, or for attacking a US president’s war policy, but for his ties to more than 30 major news organizations.

You could probably ask most Main Streeters anywhere in the world about scientists who disagree with financier Al Gore’s dire predictions and you’d not find a one who knew there are indeed scientists who disagree. Developing countries blame the US and other industrialized countries for everything from drought to typhoons. It's easier to blame an outside party than to hold leaders of those countries accountable.

But all that is insignificant when it comes to Ban’s enthusiasm for R2P, the Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
