Then: NO WAR! NO BLOOD FOR OIL! FIGHTING FOR PEACE IS LIKE F**ING FOR VIRGINITY!

Now: It’s all rather complicated! There are issues of international credibility to consider!

“What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world,” said Kerry. “It defies any code of morality. Let me be clear: The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable. And despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable.”

There is one difference between the two, of course:

Bush sought and received an authorization for the use of military force in Iraq from Congress, as the constitution requires. (I don’t really want to entertain the semantic argument favored by the Paulites that the piece of paper must specifically call itself a “Declaration of War.”)

Obama, of course, will be ordering US troops into harm’s way with out any such authority. He’ll do so based on his own authority.

We don’t know what Obama will do.
But he lost his chance to get the UN to take the lead for him.
Last I heard he was trying to get NATO to take the lead for him.
But whose side will we be on?
Obama’s DITHERING allowed al Qaeda to take the lead among all the dissenters/resistance/rebels.
((AGAIN))
So, our Hobsen’s choice?
Assad or al Qaeda.
Yikes!
Even with pinpoint targeting, who do you take out?
Maybe everybody with a weapon.
Leave only the unarmed civilians.
