...since by now our forces would be tied up with a war in Iran.

I haven't actually seen anyone making the argument that Blunt&Cranky describes as "on the Left" about the Ukraine situation, but maybe I've just missed it. It's certainly not a symmetric situation -- there's a hell of a lot more RW's ranting about Obama's "confused foreign policy" than lefties saying "Putin is a good guy". And the RW ones include people who are senators and congessmen.
