They're selling us ten year old lies for another war.

[Martin Eden]

59. ALL GOVERNMENT LIE ...

... to a greater or lesser extent. The LIES that took us into Iraq were ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE GREATER than anything related to Obama/Syria.

Your ALL GOVERNMENTS LIE argument carried a step further suggests there is no differrence between a Democratic White House and a Republican White House, or between the parties for that matter.

While I would concur there is less difference than the extreme political polarization in this country would indicate, there ARE significant differences between the parties. And between GW Bush & Barack Obama. And between the action Obama wants to take in Syria & what Bush did in Iraq.

When you blur the significant differences to the extent that many here at DU are doing, the most accurate definition for that is FALSE EQUIVALENCY.
