Liberal hawks abandon Bush.
Tim Cavanaugh whines that the liberal hawks have endorsed Kerry when they had earlier supported Operation Iraqi Freedom. (*) It’s true that the “forward strategy of freedom” liberal hawks like Paul Berman are now Kerry supporters.
Some of the anti–WMD liberal hawks are not Kerry supporters, though. Christopher Hitchens has clarified his position as ambivalence. (†) Yet, Kenneth Timmerman is pro-Kerry.
My own position as a minor anti–WMD liberal hawk is ambivalence as well. I was never pro-Bush, and so I haven’t abandoned him.
What Cavanaugh’s extended bleating does prove, however, is George W Bush’s distinct inability to unite the country. He’s no Churchill and no Roosevelt.
