One can only admire the manner in which you dedicate yourself to the pursuit of these key issues, Glenn, rather than simply raise, provoke and move on.
I do question the usefulness of the term "anti-war" in this context, inasmuch as it was not anti-war pundits or Generals, per se, that were absent from the media, but those who were advocating specifically against the US plans to invade Iraq. I just wonder if "anti-war" is too broad a term, carrying with it baggage that doesn't necessarily apply in the case of the Iraq war, where there were many good reasons to advocate against invasion that were independent of any over-arching anti-war viewpoint. Not to put too fine a point on it, but one could be pro-war, but against the Iraq invasion, in much the same way that, Admiral Fallon (for example), is clearly not "anti-war" even though he apparently views an attack on Iran as folly (at least at the time his last remarks in this regard were made).
