Obama did not have to worry about the right. They had just been convincingly rebuked in 2008. His problem was the people on the left who wanted him to end both wars. He knew he couldn't do that.
However, an investigation of the lies which led to the war would have been a useful diversion for those people. The problem is it would set a precedent for future congresses to investigate him when his term was over.
