"I think that every anti-war protester out there who didn't protest Clinton's "wag the dog" adventure in Kosovo should be called out for being hypocrites."

Sort of. Kosovo was not about attacking a smaller country, unprovoked. It was about ethnic cleansing which had the potential of destabilizing Western Europe.

"Maybe you can point me to a post where you did just that."

Where did I post that I was anti-war under all circumstances? For example, I supported the war in Afghanistan, although I still think we should have done what we promised and attempted to stabilize the country after we took out the Taliban instead of funding them like we wound up doing.

"Or you can just risk being branded a "hypocrite" yourself."

There you go again, Tenchu. It is the Right-wing tactic of making up a position for your opponent and going from there. It is a variant on your old buddy, the straw man argument.
