Syria - Notice how all the RWers who supported the Bush wars are now peaceniks? [View all]

Ridiculous! This President is faced with a very serious threat that demands some sort of response. This is a humanitarian crisis and all the RW/Republicans want to do is play politics with it.

My response to them is that I am very thankful that Barack Obama is handling this matter rather than Romney.

If a Republican was in office and bombing the hell out of Syria right now they'd be cheering it on.

I protested against the Iraq war and I voted for Obama for peace. I trust his judgment.

The hypocrisy of the the right wing and their goal to destroy this President is unbelievable!
