>>>>Such fulsome praise put the Republicans in a particularly difficult bind. Most of the current Republican leadership were cheerleaders for President Bush in his bloody experiment with regime change in Iraq, but are now tying themselves in knots trying not to credit Obama for his own regime change intervention in the Middle East.
Excuse me all to HE*L, but there is that little difference of: Bush got both sanction from the UN and UNAMIMOUS CONSENT from Congress to go into Iraq.
Bummer got NEITHER.
ALL he got from the UN was permission for a 'no fly.' He did NOT get permission to go to full scale war. And he never ask Congress.
Where our congress is negligent is in not having stopped it.
