The hypocrisy of the left

  Remember when the left-wing marched in the streets demanding an end to US military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan? Remember when every left-wing talking head and pundit demanded Bush, the war-monger, and his crony, the evil Cheney be hanged for war crimes? And who can forget the breathless left-wing media camped in the middle of nowhere to record the activities of Cindy Sheehan and her handful of followers?

  With 130,000 American troops in Iraq and more than 60,000 in Afghanistan and Obama in office, the left no longer cares about war. Casualties are increasing in Iraq, but the left-wing says nothing as the caskets return home.

  Just what was the left-wing against? A war? Or George W. Bush?

  Byron York has a thoughtful column here.
