Of course people opposed to military strikes are horrified by the use of chemical weapons

3. Obama was not previously bothered by chemical weapons use, he never mentioned Reagan's

assistance/lack of response to Saddam's far more extensive use of poison gas upon civilians and military both in Iraq and in Iran. Obama's affectation that chemical weapons have always been some 'red line' is stunning out of a man who when asked about Ronald Reagan, always heaps praise upon the memory of the man and never so much as mentions the 'red line' crossed without any reaction.
Ask me about Reagan, I say he's a Union Busting monster who refused to deal with the AIDS crisis and who let Saddam gas the Kurds with impunity. As Obama about Reagan and he says 'Transformative greatness, better than Clinton, moral, Christian, blah, blah'. Nary a word about that red line, no comment about the fact that during Reagan's administration, the US oversaw the employment of gas to kill thousands upon thousands, no comment about Rumsfeld's congratulatory trip to Bagdad a few weeks after the largest gas attack since WW1. Obama's hero, Ronald Reagan, did nothing about the gas, except tell Saddam where the targets were.
Situational outrage. Posturing. Fakery. Hypocrisy.
