obviously the conservatives who opposed the Kosovo war weren't against all wars. Did I ever claim or imply otherwise?

you implied that you thought it was inconsistent for them to oppose war X but support war Y. close enough

On the other hand, if you have any proof that a majority of folks who opposed Gulf War II were consistent pacists and agains "all wars" please provide it. I'm all ears.

uh, i never said that, that wasn't my point to begin with. bizarre

Your point escapes me. Conservatives have been bashing anti-war and "peaceniks" in a generic way over the last war. They have been outraged, for example, that "traitor peaceniks" dared opposed the war after we "were in it."

Of course, this did not stop conservatives from opposing the Kosovo war after we "were in it." There is an inconsistency here...but apparently you can't or won't admit it.

Apparently, by their "bizarre" standards of pro-conservatives these same conservatives who opposed Kosovo were not "antiwar peaceniks" then. Very bizarre indeed! I guess most pro-warriors only condemn folks as "antiwar peaceniks" when they oppose Republican wars.
