What are you talking about; Fleming didn't ask me to post this article. I 'stole' it from his website and posted it here for patriotic conservatives who were against the war to think about.

Clearly, its not for your consumption, but you should respect that one can be a conservative and disagree on the wisdom of a particular tactic.

When Frum calls paleocons "unpatriotic," it's not because they oppose the war. It is because many of them display such vitriol toward supporters of the war that "unpatriotic" is a reasonable term. For instance, Georgie Anne Geyer is opposed to this war, but I doubt if Frum would call her unpatriotic; I certainly wouldn't. Misguided, but not unpatriotic. But the catalyst for Frum's article was another article in The American Conservative which accused neocons of having engineered the war to help Israel, knowing that it would be harmful to America but not caring because they were unpatriotic. Two points: first, Buchanan, who inspired Frum's article, has a long history of writing crypto-anti-Semitic columns, then saying they were misinterpreted, then writing more crypto-anti-Semitic columns. Second, if paleocons are going to accuse neocons of treason: what goes around comes around.
