Actually, right now both parties are all over the map.
Neocon regime changers are lining up with globocop liberals
wringing their hands about gas, and both are trying to suck in whoever they can
con with Nixon-like concern-trolling about that same old pitiful, helpless
giant.
Yes, a very large segment of our classe politique truly is or wants to appear to be so deeply
troubled with self-esteem issues they’re willing to spend millions and kill
thousands for a little personal and national ego-balm.
Even the NY Times support for the president’s intervention
is really poisoned-pen, since they are very frank they support intervention to
end the civil war soon and usher out Assad.
But the president continues to refuse to intervene for that purpose
and is proposing only a simple punitive strike to punish Assad for use of gas.
Yes, even those who appear to be supporting him are
generally really supporting their own more grandiose agendas and doing their
best to force him into carrying their water.
Not all of them, though.
At least one Democrat proposes language in a favorable resolution
that would clearly forbid boots on the ground and any pursuit of an agenda
beyond that punitive strike.
Constitutionally toothless, yes, but not according to the
theory most popular this week.
It is interesting that in the House there are only seven Republicans
identifiably in favor of authorizing force and all of them are parroting the moralizing,
liberal globocop line.
