You can always tell when Jay gets pissed off over the Chickenhawk meme. He will go on a tirade. I cant say as I blame him much. Jay is a big supporter of the "War on Terror." And I dont doubt that if his health permitted it, and he saw where he could contribute, that he would be in Iraq or Afghanistan. So I understand his frustration. In fact, I happen to agree with some of his arguments here. But I still believe in principle, that a lot fewer of the Conservative Pundits, who ARE of soldiering age, and fit of body... though not necessarily mind.... would be pushing war so much if they HAD to go fight in it. I saw Michelle Malkin's Propaganda piece on Hot Air this morning, and had to muse... "It has to be a lot more fun PLAYING war corresspondent, protected by an Army of our soldiers, and visiting carefully choreographed photo op locations, than actually having to go out and cover the REAL WAR. I mean where was DEAR Michelle yesterday when all those poor kids were murdered at the University... Oh no, Michelle is too busy doing a PR piece to actually report the horrifying realities of Baghdad.

It is people like Michelle Malkin that are the Chickenhawks. People who PREACH war, who seek to paint this disaster as anything but a disaster, and who have no problem running around "Playing" war, instead of signing up. Then there are the college Republicans, etc. etc.

I have been against this war from day one. I think it was a big ole' ego trip on the part of Bush. But we have FUBARED that country, and we cant just leave it that way. Does that make me a war supporter? No not really, and I despite my own age and health issues, would sign up if I did support the war. Of course, they would probably get laughed out of the recruitment office too.
