Some on the 'left' are beating the War drums [View all]

It's fascinating how a good amount of Duers do more war drumming than call for Peace. Defend war more than they ever defend Obama. I'm not saying DEFEND OBAMA - I'm saying how interesting they can't even find anything bad to say about war, and yet can't help but fall over themselves to defend the murderous bigot bush, his Iraq invasions, and failure to stop 9/11.
