THE MORALITY OF WAR WHORE WINGNUTS

Paul Mirengoff of Powerline, one of the major war whore blogs, tries to convince us that Huckabee the Fundie Nutbag is TOO moral. Mirengoff thinks that Huckabee's explanation that we should stay in Iraq because "we broke it," which echoes not only the famous remark by Colin Powell to Pres. Fredo but also the recommendation by Anthony Cordesman that we make sure we take care of those Iraqis who have helped us, ignores the truly important reasons, at least those the war whores always talk about: defeating Al Qaeda, don't give in to terrorists and limit Iranian influence.

Mirengoff explicitly states that he thinks Huckabee's morality is "dubious" but waterboarding is just fine.
