You don’t know me at all.

I am certainly NOT a blind Ideologue.

AND you fail to realize that sometimes when conservatives tweek Obama for not having a plan, or an exit strategy, or spending too much they are playing tit for tat… What they are really saying is “look at the hypocrite”.

I was always taught that when one points a finger, they’ve got four more pointing back at them. You go on a length about this being us stepping into a civil war, but one of the arguments I heard frequently from conservatives during the run-up and early days of Iraq was that our deposing Saddam was because the Iraqi people simply couldn’t do it themselves, that if they were to live “free,” we had to do the fighting for them. That the war there was a “humanitarian” effort, because we were stopping Saddam from committing “genocide.”
