I don't think the conservatives would be for this one. There's a lot of evidence to show that many of the rebels are allied with Al Qaeda. Unfortunately it seems that a police state is necessary to keep Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and their allies in check. Look at what's going on in Egypt right now, with supporters of Morsi bombing and blowing up churches. Many so-called freedom fighters want the freedom to establish Shari'a and the persecution of Jews and Christians. So I'm not so sure that the conservatives would be the ones flip-flopping. Meanwhile the Congressional Black Congress (all Democrats) has decided to support this ONLY because they are supporting Obama. THAT is hypocrisy.
