WaPo: Cuccinelli Opposes Military Action in Syria; McAuliffe Waffles

…and of course Terry McAuliffe has no position on Syria.  The anti-war left would correctly brand him a traitor to their principles, while his funders in Washington would cut him off at the knees.  From this morning’s Washington Post:

“I understand we’re running for Governor of Virginia, but nevertheless, I find it pretty remarkable that Terry McAuliffe said he didn’t have a position on whether the U.S. should take military action against Syria,” Cuccinelli wrote on his Facebook page. “How is that even possible? I’ve yet to meet one person who doesn’t have strong feelings about this issue.

“As for me, I don’t believe the United States should be intervening in Syria, period. After a decade of war and many Virginia families losing loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan, I am very concerned about putting more of our servicemen and women at risk for an effort that would not — in my view — address the national security interests of America.”

Cuccinelli has posted before on the subject, without taking a clear stance on the question of intervening.

Cogent, well thought out, and disciplined.  McAuliffe’s response?

McAuliffe was asked by a reporter if he had a position on whether Congress should grant President Obama authorization to strike Syria.

“I don’t,” McAuliffe said. “I’ve said that our commander in chief and our military and the Congress should make that decision. I have huge challenges … in what I’m dealing with and I’m really focused on what we need to do here” in Virginia.

The rest of the WaPo article is slightly amusing in itself.  One would think that every policy maker in America — and especially those as closely linked to Washington as McAuliffe — would have an opinion as to whether or not military force is warranted in Syria after President Obama’s “red line” had been crossed.

Vacillation in leadership, thy name is T-Mac.
