7:53Now PlayingSomewhere between a paltry 5 and 10 percent of the American public believe it is a good idea for the US to lead an invasion in Syria. Those numbers seem to be consistent across party lines. And since it's incredibly rare to see a war that most Republicans don't support, it's an interesting development.
Obama should pay attention. It's not that most Americans don't understand the caliber of rank evil that characterizes the Middle East Hitler known as Assad. Any one of the poll respondents who say that an invasion is a bad idea -- I'm sure would be glad to see a malignant Assad figure dangling from the end of a rope.
But this time it's more complicated than that. On one side, you have a president with unfavorability continuing to climb. In recent months, the flaky Right has manufactured fantasy narratives about how Obama and Hillary Clinton were weak on international security because of the Benghazi fiasco. Add to that, a massive military industrial complex, flush with more money than they can spend, covered up with nifty new drone equipment, missiles, new aircraft, a couple of new ships in their fleet, and it's clear that they are desperate to ignite another Iraq just down the road there in Syria.
