I don't see how attempting to save American hostages can be compared to bombing a country with nothing but Chalabi-esque evidence.

If this was about rescuing Americans I'd have no problem with it, but this is nothing but another War for Cheese in the Middle East being shoved down our throats. I wouldn't be surprised if this was nothing but a compromise with the cons to get them to raise the debt ceiling without shutting down the government.
