Apparently nothing gets Republicans more excited that squandering American treasure and the lives of American service members while increasing the overall number of deaths among Muslim civilian populations. It's even enough, if Bill Kristol is correct, to get the Congressional GOP to overlook its pathological enmity towards Barack Obama. Politic reports on Kristol's prediction made today on Meet the Press:
Bill Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, predicts Republicans will back President Barack Obama's call for military action in Syria."I think the Republican Party will step up and do the right thing and support the president against a chemical-weapons-using, terror-sponsoring, Iran-backed dictator," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press.".
Kristol added that he wished the president had taken in action in Syria in 2011 or 2012 but said that he made the right decision in going to Congress to authorize military force.
He said that the authorization of action for the first Gulf War is a good example for this, noting, however that then-Sen. John Kerry voted against it.
Would that we could see the Congregational GOP get even remotely as excited when it comes to taking care of average Americans and their families in terms of health care, spurring the economy and a host of other issue. Only death and destruction and incurring expenses that will enrich Halliburton are on the GOP's radar screen.
