Want to know the REAL reason Republicans are so desperate for Obama to intervene in Syria?

6. Revisionism...

...it was on grand display at the opening of the Dubya "library". The game is to "justify" any and all American political and military intervention wherever and whenever...and to make past crimes like Iraq...appear to be noble. It's the ultimate whitewash that portrays the U.S. as the paragon of "right" and "freedom" in the world even if it leads to disastrous results...and then to revise those results into positives to promote even further adventurism.

You are spot on that dubya's mismanagement has destroyed a lot of the credibility the rushpublicans have had on foreign policy and military matters and this surely has to be frosting old Gramp McQueeg's butt. He's still smartin' that he wasn't overwhelming loved and elected over that "coloured fella" and he's gonna prove how wrong we all are.

It's a no-win game for Obama to play along...but, sadly, play he will, as the corporate media and the beltway chattering class still cling onto the "conventional wisdom" that has led to endless wars and financial ruin.
