I really liked Captain Eds view on this: What this shows us is who has really politicized the war. In the wake of September 11, the whole country including the elitist leftists at the Times recognized that we had to stop that from happening again. We had to unleash whatever tools and weapons we had to get at the terrorists wherever they trained, however they were financed and however they traveled, recruited and plotted. Whatever the Bush administration did in those days was cast as good, but more needed to be done. So said the Times, and so said we all back then. I remember conversations with liberals back then, in which they called for all kinds of rightwing solutions, from crushing the Taliban by brute force to drilling in ANWR to reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil. You don’t hear any lefties talking that way now. They have reverted to their leftwing pacifist mean. Just look at how times and the Times have changed. The administration was doing exactly what the Times and the entire country was calling on them to do. What was called for and lauded then is exposed and pilloried now.
