Uhm, yeah!

In any case, whatever is motivating Duncan Black, Kos, etc., it's pretty clear that Lieberman's erosion of support among mainstream Connecticut Democrats has everything to do with the Iraq and nothing to do with media appearances or other political "inside baseball." Indeed, Lieberman's slippage is consistent with the finding of a 2004 Pew poll which found that terminating our military involvement in Iraq is the highest priority among liberals in America.

But if, as I've just claimed, it's rational and appropriate for war-haters to turn against Lieberman, what is the fuss about? The fuss, I think, is a reflection of concern that mainstream blue-state Democrats are so deeply committed to a policy of capitulation in Iraq and, more generally, to a McGovern style "come home America" approach to dealing with terrorism -- a concern that Bill Clinton, the most successful Democratic politician of my lifetime, appears to share.

But then again, you are a Republican and probably enjoy it when a Democrat criticizes his party every so often, eh? Besides, Clinton? I thought according to Powerlie, Clinton was wrong in his handling of the Islamofascist threat.
