Strange things happen on the road to Damascus.

Amazing conversions on the road to Damascus: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...4d3-11e3-880b-7503237cc69d_story.html?hpid=z2

The good Senator from Oklahoma takes the prize for being the biggest hypocritical POS, brazenly abandoning a position he once held in order to maintain alignment opposite that of the President.

But hey, I guess it's to be expected. The full throated supporters of the Iraq War have abandoned the justifications for that war in their oppostion of this little conflict, so I guess Inhofe is just doing his job representing his constituents.

Why could that not be the case? I know several Republican/Conservative types that were for Iraq...but are so tired of war (after over a decade of it) that they dont' want any part of Syria or any other nation.

I think that they're just tired of war.

Can't that be possible?

This is nothing new CM. Obama asserts idea that Pugs call for. Pugs oppose and pretend they never said it.

Been going on for 4 1/2 years!

Hopefully this means the Right will find it EXTRA hard to be hypocrites next time there's a Republican President who wants to bomb Iran.

That would require a modicum of principles and the ability to feel shame/regret. Hell, they can't help themselves from taking opposite positions on the same issue, what makes you think they'll give a crap about their previous positions the next time a Republican President wants to go to war?

Republicans / conservatives can't be trusted on matters of national security.

...you know, one could almost buy that but seriously, don't. As I have said many times before, I do not support the US taking any military action against Syria at this point in time. Plus, we all know if Obama proclaimed the sky to be blue, people like inhofe would either say he was lying or demand to know what shade of blue, if blue at all...

Maybe I have more faith in folks than you do. For example, when an anti-war Democrat signs on to this Syria business after they screamed and yelled at Bush...well, I believe they're thinking of the children.

How about the Socialcrats remembering their stance on 'unilateral' actions before Nerobama came to power?

Seems to me this hypocrisy goes both ways..eh?
