Obama was very passionate before about this. Read his previous stance on the war, and then see why we are upset.

SNIP.."MR. RUSSERT: In 2002 in October, you gave a speech at an anti-war rally and said this. "What I am opposed to is the attempt by potential hacks like Karl Rove"--the president's political adviser--"to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income - to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics."END SNIP

How do you go from there to here so drastically? That was a wonderful passionate statement. Why did he change so?
