No, the silence from the right is stunning. Not any kind of significant protest – just whining.

And apparently you’re not smart enough to differentiate between the attack on Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. The first was widely protested, the second was almost universally supported.

Regarding the Iraq vote:

The resolution “supported” and “encouraged” diplomatic efforts by President George W. Bush to “strictly enforce through the U.N. Security Council all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq” and “obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, evasion, and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.”

The resolution authorized President Bush to use the Armed Forces of the United States “as he determines to be necessary and appropriate” in order to “defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq.”

And yes, It was Bush’s decision to not give the U.N. weapons inspectors the time to complete their inspections. It was Bush’s decision to attack Iraq.

“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.” — From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998 (years before GWB was President)

“Saddam’s goal … is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed.” — Madeline Albright, 1998 (years before GWB was President)

“(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10 times since 1983″ — National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998 (years before GWB was President)

What a dunce. The Iraq war was specifically to address Saddam Hussein’s multiple VIOLATIONS of UN resolutions. And Congress backed Bush up, so it wasn’t illegal.

Where were you when Obama doubled down on war and is responsible for over 70% of all US casualties in Afghanistan? Obama illegally invaded Libya without Congressional approval, a sovereign nation that never attacked us. It was a clear violation of the War Powers Act and an impeachable offense. Libya is now in a very unstable state as a dead U.S. ambassador should make clear.

Obama also killed scores of innocent men, women, and children in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and Libya with his drones, outraging the local populations. To top things off, Obama issued an executive order that allows him to indefinitely detain American citizens suspected of “terrorism” without trial under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, a gross violation of civil rights.

The silence from the lefty nut jobs is deafening.

And you folks are eating it up with a spoon. This is classic Chicago tactics.
