GOP can't make up their minds on Syria

After President Obama announced plans for a "limited" military strike on Syria, the Republicans are in a bind. They can't decide what they like more: Do they like war, or do they like dictatorships such as that in Syria?

They've proven they like both, but this time you can't have both. One faction of the GOP establishment says Obama isn't going far enough. They want a full-fledged ground war. Because libertea, don't ya know. But the other faction of Republicans says Obama should just leave Syria alone - not because they don't like war or imperialism, but because they think Bashar al-Assad is just a swell guy. Rand Paul even praised him outright. Because libertea, don't ya know.

The Republicans can't evolve, because they've already fossilized.

Antiwar progressives are on the right page. The Republican thought guardians, on the other hand, can't even make up their minds.

Never trust a party that acts like the Benghazi talking point hasn't been discredited.
