There's NO EXCUSE for The New York Times running this op-ed.
None.
ESPECIALLY, in light of the Bush Derangement Syndrome largely rooted in his foreign policy. This did not occur 50 years ago. It recent enough to remain fresh in the minds of people who believed the invasion of Iraq A) was illegal and B) did not threaten vital American interests or national security. The lessons of Iraq are already being ignored by this professor.
Attacking Syria, in my view, is the same as Iraq and to argue "attacking even if it's illegal" is outrageous. I wonder what his position on Iraq was.
Furthermore, Obama seems ready to accept chemical weapons were used even though the UN hasn't concluded if true nor has the intelligence community.
Hm. Where have we seen this play out again?
Surgical strikes sound cool and all, but as military experts remind, can be limited in its results and may not even achieve the desired result of the objective.
Should Obama, who has already attacked a nation, decide to go forth, the circle will be complete. There is NOTHING in Obama's legacy that didn't match Bush or even surpass him. Those who bear a hatred of Bush and voted for Obama have very precious little to distinguish between the two.
I would add that perhaps Bush didn't help united the nation, Obama further deepened not only the partisan divide, but the racial one as well.
Thankfully, the readers are having none of what the prof is selling.
At the moment, the Democrats have no real, intelligent game plan for the Mid-East except to, well, be gung-ho busting up the place as Biden attempted to sell the other day. The very same things they vowed to impeach Bush over.
