RE :”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”

I have pretty bad memories of GWB policies but you are correct, Bush at least went to congress and then he got England to share in the pain.
If Obama does neither then it shows what a hypocrite Obama is . However the libs themselves all seem to be against this from what I saw on last nights MSNBC shows, and they are skeptical of the WMD chemical reports and they want to see a UN report first.

How they react if he actually does it might be a different story.

Lsst, McCain and Grahamnesty are giving Obama some cover on this by demanding he do it.

Attacking him from both sides is a good strategy. The left covers their bases, argues it both ways all the time, and is never held accountable. I remember one of their biggest talking points against the Iraq War was "since we ALL know Saddam has WMDs, Bush invading Iraq will GUARANTEE he uses those WMDs on us"

How the politicians on the left react is one way (most of them voted FOR invading in Iraq, in contrary to the grassroots left-wing activists). On the grassroots level, I haven't seen a single person on the left (at least, the American left), oppose Obama on this one. Their general talking point seems to be that they're wary of the idea, but since their overlord Obama is in favor it, they're going to stand by him. (and I have no doubt they'd be on the streets now demanding Bush's head on a platter if he said the same stuff that Obama is saying). It's a similar herd mentality to those grassroot conservatives in the GOP who couldn't come up with a single logical reason to back Arlen Specter over a conservative in the GOP primary, but decided they had to since Bush supported him and "we must stand by our President"

Mark Kirk thinks it's a wonderful idea too. His fan club in the GOP claims this guy is a valuable asset because of his "military expertise", AFTER Kirk said 1) He was absolutely 100% sure Iraq had WMDs, and 2) He was absolutely 100% sure the surge it Iraq would NOT work. Very few people in Washington managed to be wrong on BOTH issues (Colin Powell also gets a Doofus Award for this). The only "military expertise" I've seen from Kirk is the pathological ability to lie about his service record.
