The biggest supporters of the Balkan campaign are not cheerleaders in the Iraq war. In fact, many of the "neo-cons" pointed out correctly that we did not have a strategic interest in the Balkan conflict, that the KLA and many of the "ethnic Albanian moslems" were guilty of atrocities themselves, and the so-called ethnic cleansing that was supposedly being committed was grossly overstated. Of course when clinton's claims that tens of thousands of Albanians were being slaughtered and left in mass graves turned out to be completely unfounded, there were loud choruses of "clinton lied and people died", remember? Oh wait, the republicans didn't resort to that kind of demogoguery did they.
I had to crack up at this part of it . . . "Conservatives voting against deployment will find themselves in league with Pat Buchanan and Henry Kissinger. This alone should give conservatives with any memory of past foreign policy debates pause."
If you really want an eye-opener, do some research on a group called the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya (ACPC) -- I believe they may now be called the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus -- and check out some of the preposterous positions this group has taken over the years. They've basically come down on the side of radical Muslim separatists in Chechnya against the Russian government.
Then take a look at their membership list and notice all of the familiar names on it.
Then tell me honestly if you still think this disastrous conflict in Iraq was ever intended to be part of some "war on terror" at all.
