As usual with broad sweeping claims like this, i think that heavily depends on the liberal in question. Though i do agree that liberals opinions on Iraq would be different if Gore had been president during it (though idk if Gore would have invaded Iraq or not)
Just look at Lib opinions on Lib wars like Libya and Syria. They still hold their imperialist chauvinist views after being proven monstrous and empowering jihadists. They will never turn on Obama or his actions, it's too core to their identity
Sure, but all those same libs then supported Libya, Yemen etc. So their intentions are clear. They consider Libya a success because all the goals were achieved.
