RE :”So... according to liberal hypocrites, Bush has a “coalition of the willing”, it counts as a “unilateral attack” and “going at it alone”, but when Obama can’t even get our “staunch ally” the UK to join him in bombing Iraq, it’s still in our “best interests” to bomb them.”

Its not clear that he plans on doing anything now after this slapdown, but he sure looks pathetically weak and clueless in his foreign policy, especially given his ‘line in the sand’ on Syria. And his boasting election year that he could not 'sit by and let this happen'.

He sees the polls. He sees the midterms.

I would say that GOP attacking him from both sides is justice, given they did the same to GWB,

Well, according to this thread, Obama is still planning to go into Syria after the UK slapdown: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3060393/posts

Which again, shows the hypocrisy of the left, since they claimed Bush's 30-nation coalition for the Iraq invasion was a "unilateral attack" and "going at it alone". Who's Obama got on his side, France? And what about the leftists screaming about the "rush to war"? Bush had the slowest "rush to war" I've ever seen in my life (no wonder there were no WMDs to be found by the time we FINALLY invaded). How all that stuff about how its an impeachable offensive for a President to attack another country that's not an imminent threat to us? What happened to all that preachy liberal BS from 2008 about a "more humble, less arrogant foreign policy" where America wouldn't "bully" the world?

Bottom line: Obama supporters talking points have proven to be such BS, it's not even funny. And I haven't heard a single Obama supporter denounce the guy they voted for over Syria. I'll hand it to the UK left, at least they're consistently "anti-war" whether the Tories, Labour Party, or Lib Dems are pushing for it. The US left hasn't held their own accountable since Lyndon Johnson.

It would be delicious irony after what they did in GWB, and now have collective amnesia about when they whine about how mean Republicans are to Obama. I don't think these socialists could take it if we had anti-war protest rallies with even 1/10th of the amount of bile they spewed at GWB. I sure wish we could get a massive rally going in Washington and claim Obama is lying about chemical weapons because he has a "thirst for blood" and wants to kill "little tan people" for "oil" The left can dish out the attacks, but they sure can't take it.
