Anyone else noticed that the Chicken Hawk Right has morphed into the Anti-War Right?

[LaydeeBug]

And how they've been drumming the 'where are all the libruuuuuuuuuuuhls' meme?

It's like they have this cavalier attitude toward there being lives on the line.

Suddenly, they pretend to be 'anti-war' when really they just want to be 'anti-Obama'.

[Cali_Democrat]

1. Because the president's name is Obama and he's black. n/t

[LaydeeBug]

10. It's almost as if they're so pissed that he wasn't born in Kenya that they'll cling to

*ANYTHING* else.

[KittyWampus]

2. yes, and while looking for credible accounts of rebels having launched the large chemical attack

the only places I found were right wing crap sites...

[TwilightGardener]

3. They realize Iraq was a tragic clusterfuck of monumental proportions--they're secretly ashamed

of BushCo now. They'd like to smear Obama with the same brush--for political damage, though, not because they give a shit about the military, Syria, etc.

[LaydeeBug]

6. Oh, this. You are spot ON. nt

[ForgoTheConsequence]

4. No not really.

He should get things approved through congress. Lindsey Graham and McCain have been begging him to attack Syria since the beginning.

[pinboy3niner]

5. They drew straws

The long straws get to push for military intervention (though Obama is doing it all wrong!1!!).

The short straws get to be pauxifists this time.

[MicaelS]

7. Nope, it's more of a case of ...

"They all hate us anyway, no matter why they do. So let them kill each other all off."

[JHB]

8. No, the chickenhawk neocons are all on board for making Syria Iraq#2

Y'know, the ones who'd be running US foreign policy if Romney had won in November.

Granted that's not all of them, but those are the ones that count the most, policy-wise.

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Opposition for opposition's sake. It's a loser's game.

And one helluva stupid way to try to run a government.

[woo me with science]

11. I am grateful for ANYONE speaking out against war.

For the very first time, Americans are united across party in our hatred of the surveillance state. Because of that unity, we have an opportunity for the very first time to push back against unconscionable policy perpetrated on us by the One Percent.

We should learn a lesson from that.

Surely you are not suggesting that Democrats should rally around war because some Republicans are opposing it. It is precisely by getting us to circle the partisan wagons that the One Percent in both parties get their way.

We need every voice of protest possible in order to reverse the entrenched business of warmongering for profit that has corrupted policy decision-making in our government. We need every voice.

[cpwm17]

15. +1,000,000

[abelenkpe]

12. No

All the conservatives I know who cheered war in Iraq are also cheering possible war with Syria. Are right wing pundits against war with Syria?

[DrDan]

13. seems like there is also an anti-war left morphing going on

sure are a lot here screaming for blood

[Warren Stupidity]

14. Not at all. The neocons are all in for another war.

The libertarian wing is split over bloodlust vs non-interventionism and the teabagaloons can't support anything Obama is for.
