Left-Wing Mother Jones: Let's Please Stop Pretending That Obama is Reluctant to Take Military Action

Mother Jones reports:
Obama has (a) escalated twice in Afghanistan, (b) massively ramped up the drone war in Pakistan and expanded it to Yemen, (c) joined NATO's air strikes against Libya, and (d) is now asking Congress to approve a punitive military mission against Syria.

No, none of this matches Iraq in the annals of military folly. And who knows? Maybe history will judge that these were all good decisions. Still, I think it's about time to acknowledge that Obama is hardly "reluctant" to take military action.
After all, the merchants of death do contribute big money to the Democrats.
