Jules Crittenden posted a link to an essay Webb wrote in 1995 about opposition to the war in Vietnam.

A sample of the Senator's words then: The people who directed the antiwar movement did not care whether McNamara had a workable strategy, or whether it could have been adapted to circumstances. They did not care whether Nixon's Vietnamization program might have worked. They did not care whether the South Vietnamese should have been given an adequate chance to adjust their strategy after the American withdrawal. And they did not care whether the communists signed a pledge guaranteeing free elections and a peaceful reunification of the country. Quite simply, they wanted the communists to win. Those who were adults during the Vietnam era know this truth full well. Others, however, particularly our children, have seen it glazed over and even denied as the reality of what happened after 1975 became ever more clear.

Now those same scumbags want the jihadis to win, only Webb has joined them.

WOW, that essay is telling, and illustrates what I meant when I wrote that Webb until recently had his admirers here on FR.

Webb is an first rate example of BDD - Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Any common sense that Webb had has been overtaken by this pathology.
