From Andrew Sullivan:
"Big Dems On Obama's War Plan...Almost uniformly negative. And the GOP will do all they can to destroy this commander-in-chief."
TW: The joy of being a Democratic POTUS. The Dem base is largely pacifist (in a Euro kind of way). The Republican base rabid jingoists (but for the libertarian wing). As a Dem your base will not carry your water, whilst the Republicans circle waiting (or not even waiting) to pounce at the inevitable challenges of a complex conflict.
In a way it frees Obama to do whatever is right as politically it is a no-win situation. So all in all doing the right thing has an actual chance.
