Anti-War Obamabots' Flaky Position

"When President Bush announced an escalation to the Iraq War, the anti-war left couldn't contain their opposition. They condemned the war (while supporting the troops) and vilified Bush as a warmonger and Hitler clone. President Obama has escalated the war in Afghanistan and where's the liberal outrage?

"The night before President Obama rolled out his Afghanistan plan, staffers for Reps. Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters and Lynn Woolsey met to come up with a common position. For two hours the staffers debated over how to respond to the initiative, but they were unable to come up with a position on Obama’s 4,000-troop increase that the troika of liberal California Democrats could agree on.

"On Friday, after Obama laid out all the details of his plan, the staffs traded drafts of a joint statement. One version said the plan 'raised more questions than it answers.' But because they couldn’t agree, it never went out."
