Antiwar Hypocrites - Ralph Peters, New York Post

Am I the only one who's noticed the silence? Mere months ago, left-wing bloggers and demonstrators were wailing Support our troops, bring them home! seven days a week. Now their presidential candidate has announced that he won't bring all those troops home, but will simply transfer combat forces from Iraq to Afghanistan - expanding that war. (He's discussed possibly invading Pakistan, too.) And the left's quiet as a graveyard at midnight. Where are the outraged protests from MoveOn or the DailyKos? I thought the extreme left felt sorry for our service members in harm's way and wanted to reunite them with their families. What happened? We all know exactly what happened. The left has nothing against foreign wars (as long as they don't have to fight in person). They just want to pick our wars themselves.

What could the democratic wing of the Democratic Party do to get more explicit discussion of an alternative
Foreign Policy going. It is my opinion that this is most where the News Media fails in their professional
responsibility and how they have sold out to the Tryanny of the Middle which is the Military-Industrial-Financial
Underground Mob.
