I think Greenwald’s been fairly consistently anti-interventionist. He hates government, not just Obama.

I could be wrong though.

Glenn was all for Bush invading Iraq & Afghanistan:

I had not abandoned my trust in the Bush administration. Between the president’s performance in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the swift removal of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the fact that I wanted the president to succeed, because my loyalty is to my country and he was the leader of my country, I still gave the administration the benefit of the doubt. I believed then that the president was entitled to have his national security judgment deferred to, and to the extent that I was able to develop a definitive view, I accepted his judgment that American security really would be enhanced by the invasion of this sovereign country.

That was different though, a republican was president.
