Questions of Patriotism
Glenn Reynolds:
"...Somebody just sent me a 'but Bush said the war was over!' bit of snarkmail. Uh, no, he didn't. Bush actually said that major combat was over in Iraq. The war on terror -- really the war on fundamentalist Islamic terrorists, and those who back them -- is nowhere near over. Bush knows that, and he's said it repeatedly.
"I actually got several variations on this theme, from antiwar types who always seem glad when people die in Iraq, so long as they're Americans or our allies. They're usually the same people who puff up if you 'question their patriotism.'
"I don't question it. They've put its existence beyond question by wishing for America to lose."
