I wish it weren't so, but this is blatant dishonesty on the part of the Administration

84. I would like to offer up for disection the following idea...

Being WRONG about Iraq is what put us in this mess in the first place.

If we hadn't wasted 4-6 Presidential Terms worth of domestic political capitol (not to mention a GENERATION of world-wide Goodwill) in the utterly INSANE decision to invade Iraq, Assad would likely be dead already.

This argument of our inability to muster the national will to remove this man from power (and the regional consequences if we DO manage that feat and then REQUIRE our President to act on that decision) belong SQUARELY AND COMPLETLEY at the feet of George Bush Jr., that bloodsucker Cheney, and EVERY NAME ASSOCIATED with PNAC.

This is still their fault, and I'm not inclined to let them off the hook so easily by blaming Obama for wanting to act on the idea that Assad might actually have gassed his own poeple (I want PROOF, by the way, by way of the UN inspector's report, and then I want that report triple checked by the international commnity. If he DID fire chemical weapons into his own city, it's not like he's going to disappear in 10 days time and we will have missed our window to "get him", as it were).
