Progressives are a bunch of double-talking frauds.  Remember the 2005 far-Left rant that the Iraqi democrats were not worth the lost treasure or blood?  According to the far-Left, the Iraqi democrats are bad but Libyan democrats are good. Thru the far-Left looking glass, how the liberal mind 'feels' but does not reason.  Remember the 2005 far-Left rant the "Iraqi democrats are ‘inherently’ incapable" and not worth a war?  Remember during the 2006 election cycle the far-Left yammering that the USA must abandon the Iraqi democrats?  Remember the uber-progressive Harry Reid saying the Iraqi democrats were doomed?   Translation from liberal into English: 'Bombs Away Over Libya' no problem!!!  Denis McDonough, President Obama's deputy national security adviser, speaking from inside the White House said about supporting the Libyan democrats while abandoning the Iraqi democrats, "We don't make decisions about questions like intervention based on consistency or precedent."
