The Left is only celebrating (and it looks like briefly celebrating) because Obama is claiming to be the trigger man. If this had been W Bush, his dad, or Reagan they’d be howling about cowboy diplomacy, war crimes, secret hit squads, and Kucinich would be filing impeachment papers again.
They’ll sort out their conflicting emotions when they can converge on a target for their rage that is not Barry Soetero.
If anyone was the cowboy, it probably was Leon Panetta. Obummer couldn’t make up his mind.
