In reply to the discussion: For supporters of military action against Syria. [View all]el_bryanto
(11,804 posts)17. It's not quite a trick question, although verging on it
I don't support action against Syria anyway, as I think it will make things worse. But it certainly possible to believe that this administration would handle it better than, say, a George W. Bush or Romney administration would.
If you imagine a line from complete success to complete failure on the part of military intervention, it's possible to place a Mitt Romney at one point (deep in failure territory) and Obama in another (in success territory). I place both in failure territory, but place Romney deeper.

I generally can support a limited military intervention here and there

If Bush/Cheney/McCain were in the White House, the US would have attacked long ago.

The message is coming from Obama/Biden rather than Bush/Cheney. I see a difference.
