In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald never passes up an opportunity to take a crack at Pres. Obama [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)told there would be no 'boots on the ground' in Libya. However, many of us KNEW we were there all along and Bengazi proved it. I don't care what the morons on the Right have to say about anything, they have ZERO moral authority to do so. But WE, DEMOCRATS who claimed to be opposed to all these lies told about our illegal wars DO have that authority, as does Glenn Greenwald who took the same position on Bush when it came to our foreign policy.
That, of course, depends on whether we really believed that our illegal invasions, or proxy wars fought for us by our allies in Qatar, Bahrain etc, were actually wrong, or whether we were just opposed to them because it was the 'other party' doing it.
I have noticed a strange shift in thinking regarding our foreign adventures mostly in oil producing and/or strategic nations since Bush left office. That is very troubling, it suggests we may never have been sincere at all.
Greenwald otoh, has remained consistent in his criticisms of our Neocon foreign policies so he has the credibility lacking in anyone who once SUPPORTED these adventures on the RIGHT who now criticize them, as well as those on the LEFT who are now okay with them.
