Good commentary in your blog, but I would say that the left knows full well we're at war, and would happily acknowledge the fact if one of their guys was sitting in the Oval Office. It was war most dire when Clinton went to war in Kosovo, according to them.
No, for the 'Rats, it's all about power--getting it and keeping it--and the country be d*mned.
When slick willie was in charge, it was a pretend war. Everyone knew he would never have the courage to actually do much more than jaw jaw and eventually apologyze for doing nothing of substance, other than destroying Serbia on behalf of the islamotrash.
