So Has Ed Schultz Changed His Mind About Obama Wanting To Strike Syria?......

I'm listening to him now and trying to figure him out. Ed was very outspoken about this strike and was against it. I'm sensing that he's starting to change his mind.

and now that it appear Obama may have played Congress to have his show of force without use of force many people are coming around to figuring out if A) this was plan all along B) was this course of action necessary C) Did it really work. Needless to say it will take years to know exactly what was happening inside the White House and if the end game works. But I don't think it is wrong to dislike actual military strikes and give Obama credit for using the powers granted to him to force the worlds hand to deal with this chemical weapon attack.

He went from being against any military action, as if it would be another Iraq, to supporting the credible threat of force.

The doves were wrong all along. Ed is just smart enough to see it.
