The mask is off: They hated Bush, not war
Blog: The mask is off: They hated Bush, not war:
"We do know that the anti-war left is mute and out of business now that "hope and change" is the one starting wars.
The silence or indifference is that Obama is a liberal Democrat, as Keith Wagstaff points out:
"Part of the reason, the study says, is that Democratic politicians in the Bush era found it politically useful to co-opt the anti-war movement for votes.

Ralph Peters- Most Phenomenally Stupid Misuse Of Our Military I've Seen
Video: Ralph Peters- Most Phenomenally Stupid Misuse Of Our Military I've Seen (+video) | Restoring Liberty:
BILL HEMMER: You are strong in your opposition to this. Why?
RALPH PETERS: Well, because it’s the most phenomenally stupid misuse of our military I’ve ever seen. No one in this administration has been able to explain what tangible vital security interest we have in Syria or in stopping this fighting. This military demonstration — and that’s what it’s going to be — is about Obama shooting off his mouth about red lines and chemical weapons. Now he feels he has to do something. He doesn’t want to do too much, he doesn’t want to do too little. He’s not thinking through the potential consequences, and I see no, no way, Bill, in which a military attack on Syria is worth it for the United States or will end well.

What Happened to the Rule of Law?
What Happened to the Rule of Law? - NYTimes.com:
"So maybe it should not surprise us that President Obama seems poised to authorize American military action against Syria, in clear violation of international law.
The Charter permits nations to use force against other nations only for self-defense or when the Security Council authorizes such force “to maintain or restore international peace and security,” as it did for Libya in 2011.
Mr. Obama seems to recognize the problem.
“If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it,” he told CNN last week."
