Anti-war protesters took to the streets in 2007 by the thousands to demand that then-President George W. Bush halt the war in Iraq and bring our troops home, even drawing out ’60s has-been’s like Jane Fonda.
Of course, that was when the media was giving an almost daily update on the number of U.S. soldiers killed. A practice that fell out of favor after President Obama was elected — the number of troops who died fighting in Afghanistan doubled in his first two years in office the number who died under Bush.

to media; body-cam proves him wrong
Nevertheless, when Obama announced last week that he was stepping up U.S. military action in Iraq and Syria, it was just a matter of time before the left-wing anti-war movement and all its pageantry mobilized.
Right?
In fact, this inevitable reaction was a popular topic of conversation on Twitter:

@exjon If an anti-war protester comes out of his hole and sees a Democratic president, we get 6 more weeks of winter. #sciencefacts — Jon Ireland (@jrireland1) September 14, 2014
@exjon They were never “anti-war”, but rather “anti-Bush”, “anti-America”, “anti-capitalism”, “anti-personal hygiene”, etc. #UniteBlue #p2
