"Didn't we support the troops in Kosovo?"

Actually, a lot of conservatives used the same "I support the troops but oppose the war" argument that liberals use about Iraq. Many Freepers believed the Kosovo war was a wag-the-dog by Clinton; many others thought it was simply a bad idea. Others suddenly found things to like about in Milosevic.

I think you use the term 'a lot' loosely. Certainly there were those on internet forums that stated such positions, but you would be hard pressed to find many GOPers in the House and Senate who made derogatory statements about the war once it started. The Democrats beat this anti-American drum daily and very loudly. There is a huge difference.
