DU hawks, once 100% behind Obama striking Syria, now praise him as a prince of peace [View all] whatchamacallit Sep 2013 OP

Not all of them Warpy Sep 2013 #1

There were/are very, very few DU hawks 100% behind Obama striking Syria. KittyWampus Sep 2013 #2

Yep Cali_Democrat Sep 2013 #7

I'm referring to the DUers who, until today, supported Obama's decision to strike Syria whatchamacallit Sep 2013 #22

I don't think they were supporting the decision to strike Syria as much as they were pnwmom Sep 2013 #26

Bullshit whatchamacallit Sep 2013 #28

If they are just 8% of DU (see #7), don't worry about them too much. n/t pampango Sep 2013 #39
