Here is an excerpt, worthy of some intelligent reflection:
I do know that since Vietnam, liberals have viewed every exercise of American military power (with the exception of those undertaken by Bill Clinton) as preludes to disaster.
Now, let's look at this a little.
It was okay with Europe (and other world leftists) when we bombed the hell out of the Balkans. Innocent people were killed then, too. They even bombed the Chinese consulate (or something) by mistake and got a free pass. And, agree with that action or not, the objective was to stop the ethnic cleansing of Muslims, by Christians. (You'd think the jihadists and their leftist allies would remember that. But they don't.)
But the clincher is, Europe and the left begged for the U.S. to do something. They were powerless (as they often are) to solve the issue through diplomacy. Milosevic (sp?) wasn't bargaining, negotiations were failing, and Europe was clamoring for intervention. We did it, with very few protests and those that did occur were minimized by the MSM, if reported at all.
Today, they are on the opposite side of the spectrum. They work like hell to subvert every noble cause and effort. Which makes you wonder that if Clinton had been the one to go into Iraq, would the Cindy Sheehans even exist?

I see that Cindy Sheehan has returned to Crawford and that Daniel Ellsberg was in attendance--and arrested, as is his wont (arrested more than 70 times since leaking The Pentagon Papers.
Ellsberg? Hadn't heard that, yet. In fact I don't think i have heard quite as much about Cindy this go around. Maybe it's because the GOP took the steam out of the "withdraw now" crowd with the vote taken before the break.
