We would have heard this same "make peace not war", talk, had Bush or Clinton threatened to go after Bin Laden, before 9/11.

The peacenicks forget, Saddam surrendered to us 11 YEARS ago under certain conditions that he has not met, we are still flying combat missions, I repeat, FOR 11 YEARS!

American honor is at stake here, why did Bin Laden dare to commit 9/11, because we have been perceived as weak, FOR 11 YEARS!

The whole goal of the peaceniks, whether Right OR Left, seems to be to avoid ANY disruption at all in their lives. As I said, self - centered. How else to explain their reactions? Although I never thought I'd see those on the Right agreeing, and helping through their actions, America's enemies.

I love the new word they learned recently - "CHICKENHAWK". Sounds like something you'd hear in a late - night porn shop. I guess it makes as good a pejorative as any, except they seem to apply it to a LOT of active duty military and veterans. And forgive me if I doubt their "concern" for the welfare of "American Boys" in the war. Sounds like self-justifying boilerplate to me.
