Spin machine begins laying the groundwork for Syria: "It's Bush's fault!"

If Obama does order U.S. forces to attack Syria--which would be merely a "shot across their bow," as Obama put it, and thus presumably not really harmful--do you know whose fault that will be?

Why, George Bush's, of course.  At least that's how the Democrat/Leftist spin machine is gearing up to spin it.

If you think I'm just being facetious, here's the condensed propaganda piece from the leftist rag Buzzfeed:

The shadows of the Iraq War loom so heavily over President Obama’s attempt [??] to attack Syria that he may not be able to pull off the sort of relatively modest intervention that has been routine for American presidents for half a century.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad...is in some ways a better fit for the role into which Bush put Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, whose worst crimes were behind him.  Iraq War boosters invoked Saddam’s 1980s gas attacks; but Assad stands accused of gassing civilians last week.

...opponents of the Iraq War say Bush has boxed Obama into a corner.

This is such obvious propaganda that it's hard to know where to start.  First is the soothing description of any armed attack on Syria as "relatively modest."  This is reinforced by the assurance that such intervention has been "routine for American presidents for half a century."

See?  Nothing to be concerned about.

Then there's the claim that Syria's Assad regime is "in some ways a better fit" for armed intervention than Iraq's Saddam Hussein regime, since Saddam had used nerve gas on Iraqi Kurds long, long before Bush sent U.S. forces in, while Assad is accused of gassing his opponents last week. 

And all these points lead unavoidably to the writer's conclusion:  that "Bush has boxed Obama into a corner."

See?  If Obama pulls the trigger it's Bush's fault, and you can bet that if he doesn't, it'll still be Bush's fault, since "the shadows of the Iraq war loom so heavily" over him.

Gee, all this time we kept hearing that Bush was inept.  Who could have guessed that he was powerful enough to "box Obama into a corner" five years after leaving office?

This piece is the first round of a propaganda barrage, designed to provide cover for Democrats.  No matter what Obama does, the mainstream media will be able to claim it wasn't his fault.

Because no bad outcome--even if easily foreseeable and prredicted--is EVER Obama's fault.  Or the fault of liberal or Democrat policies.

Whatever happen, citizen, you are to remember that it's all Bush's fault.
