Allow Me To Explain

RIGHTNETWORK | Voices | The Mothballing of the Antiwar Movement: "We're still in Iraq—end of so-called 'combat operations' or no, we're still going to have a heavy military presence there for some time—and we’re still in Afghanistan. Guantanamo Bay has not actually closed; FISA is still in full effect. Indeed, with the resumption of rendition and the aggressive deployment of predator drones, the Obama administration may be more offensive to what we will politely call the antiwar movement's ‘sensibilities’ than the Bush administration ever was. In short, everything that ostensibly furthered the growth of the antiwar movement in the first place is still in place—and yet, the movement is withering on the vine. Isn't this odd? Not so odd. Not really.

I assume that RIGHTNETWORK readers are at least of average intelligence, but for any members of Code Pink or International ANSWER who might have stumbled over here by accident, allow me to dumb it down: the antiwar movement is faltering because it was never an antiwar movement to begin with. It was an anti-Bush, anti-Republican movement, and now that neither of those entities is running things right now it is no longer necessary to keep it going."

Du'O.
