Or that they were against Bush's decision to heed the calls of dying Iraqis to step in but are okay with Obama's decision to heed the call of Libyans?

Or that they were against unilateral military action but are okay with a U.N. resolution?

So....what hypocrisy are you talking about? This isn't a rhetorical question. It's a request for clarification.
