That said:
your assumption was that conservatives did not support the Kosovo mission....Yes they did
I'm a conservative and I did not support the mission but I was always worried about the safety of our troops. You make it a habit of generalizing?
therefore they did support the troops but they did not support the timing of it
That's a statement without any basis for justification. How can you say that ALL conservatives liked the idea of bombing Serbia, a armpit of a country which is Europe's problem not ours, for Kosovars? Besides maybe some thought like Clintoon; hate the troops which are nothing but pawns to him but love the idea of "selfless" missions?
The difference is today liberals who SUPPORTED the war drive on Iraq when Clinton was in office now say THEY DO NOT SUPPORT THE WAR not because of Bush (which it is) but they just do not support the war.
Point taken. However my original question is directed about the Democrats in general. As for bringing up the "commander in chief" bit, that was only in response to your curious statement regarding Bubba and your dislike of his timing.
