OK! I've thought of 1 positive thing if Obama maniacally starts Iraq War II -

Bernie Sanders will crush all pro-war chickenhawk challengers in any party in 2016.

Hillary will fold unless she comes out against the new war (unlikely).

And the R's will die as they elect Cheney or some other nut bag.

Spoiler: anti-war libertarian.
