The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War

Well that's certainly an unbiased source.

[Archidamus]

He went over to the dark side. Too bad.

Resume makes him part of the East Coast Establishmernt;hence as much at odds with Bush as Pat Buchanan .

"To a large degree, the way you use force is determined by the sort of forces that you have at hand to employ," said Bacevich, who said he supports Kerry but is playing no role in his campaign.

I guess it's too much to ask the MSM to find an actual Republican who previously supported the President but who now disagrees with the President's policy in Iraq. Could it be though that it is kind of difficult to find such a Republican given that Bush got around 90% of the Republican vote in the last election.

[pollyannaish]

Yes. I would put him in the "Used to be GOP supporter of the war" category.
