A few years ago, a common refrain among liberals was that the conservatives, neoconservatives and assorted Bush-worshippers who declared support for the invasion and occupation of Iraq should enlist in the U.S. military.
Now, having wept tears of joy over the election of Obama - a man who, as a presidential candidate, very clearly stated his intention to increase the American military presence in Afghanistan - yesterday's indignant anti-war dissidents have transformed themselves into cheerleaders for the bloody American empire.
Is it any wonder shut up or enlist isn't a popular retort among The Democratic Faithful these days?
