I think that's pretty common actually. Presidents always talk about what we shouldn't be doing with our foreign policy... but once they're in office, I think they meet with advisers or they get different picture of things given they have far better access to intelligence and information than what the public has... so it's possible that that could've change their minds.

Obama carried out more drone strikes in his first year than Bush did ever.
