re: Is the Liberal "Base" excited that Obama Declared War on ISIS?

Let me give you a few hints.... In the wars under Clinton

No American interests were pursued - merely humanitarian.

OEF (Afghanistan) were directly in response to 9/11. OIF was discretionary, but justifiable (and Congressionally approved) based on Hussein's misconduct. I can disagree with how we fought both wars, but not the goals themselves - and they were both directly in support of U.S. interests (unlike Clinton's playing at war.)

Clinton had a surplus.

Myth. Propoganda. Spin. Accounting games. I can't call them lies, but the most fair way to describe this was the budget was in "near balance".

The reason I know this? The debt never went down. So, if there was a surplus (Hint: there wasn't) - somebody stole it.
