That's been the position for every president, there will always be critics. Maybe if Obama didn't open his fat mouth he wouldn't be getting so much criticism for being a hypocrite.
Here is some stuff he previously said, verbatim.
Regarding the justifications for war with Iraq, before Obama was elected, he said;
"I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted U.N. inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity ... But ... Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors ..."
How is the case for war against Gadhafi smarter or less "ideological" or more prudent than that for war against Saddam Hussein?
While Obama knew that Saddam had actually attacked his own people from the air with chemical weapons -- he didn't think that his possession of those weapons warranted war. In Gadhafi's case, there is no threat of WMD, as the dictator flamboyantly relinquished his WMD program after seeing Saddam's fate.
It's funny watching all the hypocrites lay in their own filth.
