Quote Of The Day

"So John Kerry opposed the Vietnam War despite North Vietnamese atrocities... (5,000 civilians rounded up and executed during the Battle of Hue City alone - millions dead when the South finally collapsed).
But! But! A chemical attack that killed approximately 1,000 possibly launched by Assad - definitely a case for war."

John Kerry?

Wait. That's John Kerry? I though it was Thurston Howell III.

Well, let's not forget that all the guys gung ho about Syria wanted to impeach Bush. All of a sudden blood tastes great when it's for the right cause and by the right people.

Everyone seems "terrified" now.

As Obama attempts to build a coalition - and that's looking shaky at the moment - and says all the right things about international cooperation, the enduring myth about the 2003 Iraq War is that it was unilateral. No it wasn't. Four countries committed troops while 36 others were involved in various capacities. Not only that, 71% of the U.S. media and 64% supported the war as well as Democrats.

In fact, there was more popular support for Iraq than there is Syria.
