Chicken Hawk Brooks Can't Get Anyone to Fight His Wars Anymore--Boo Hoo

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/29/1295580/-David-Brooks-cries-no-one-wants-to-fight-someone-else-s-wars-anymore
snip:

People have no trouble defending America. They have a trouble dying for bullshit neocon fantasies, especially when those neocons won't put up their own children and grandchildren as cannon fodder.


A Chicken Hawk wanting to fight to the last drop of someone else's blood. These despicable ghouls are beyond contempt.

I chose not to fight to advance someone else's business proposals.

An old saying from when I served. The military does it's job, when diplomats fail at theirs. Is it too much to ask if our diplomats and politicians attempt to be as professional as our military?

Then I had a good friend of mine, who AFAIK is a Democrat, pumping her up as a possible VP prospect (for Hillary?) around the same time that she out on the road and preaching more war. She thinks that Condi helped make the Iraq War less worse than it was and I was simply dumbfounded and asked her how Iraq could have been worse and how Condi made it "better" or "not so bad". Have yet to get an answer and ended up dropping the discussion. And this is a very intelligent and progressive therapist.



I thought that Condi wholeheartedly supported the Iraq War? Never heard any mea culpas about it from her.
