(Hot Air) - The video here is instructive not because of the discussion that ensues, but because of the question Jake Tapper asks. DCCC chair Rep. Steve Israel can be relied upon to carry Barack Obama’s water on this subject and cry about the “politicization” of the debate over whether to authorize strikes on Syria, but the truth is that as many Democrats publicly opposed the rush to military strikes as Republicans did. Worse, Obama’s push forced Democrats like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to start making Hitler comparisons and Munich analogies, only to discover that the President had retreated and left them twisting in the wind.
