that's a straw man, ace. i haven't engaged in any such argument. i'm merely pointing out the surreal spectacle of manly man conservatives tripping all over themselves to sound all anti-war when the obvious fact of the matter is that the only reason they--and you---oppose the action in libya is because it is happening under the obama administration.
you other "argument" comes about "clarity" and "simple-mindedness" isn't an argument at all. it's a statement of consumer preference. you go shopping for the sentences that are used by a given political regime to market war. you prefer the simple statements preferred by republican regimes to speak organically to their simple constituents.
so really, it's no more interesting than knowing that sometimes you might like raspberry jam, and sometimes strawberry so long as nobody tells you that strawberry is really different from raspberry. then you don't like it.
