The Hawks Have Flown the Coop

Spencer Ackerman wonders where have all the hawks gone, after Andrew Exum refused to be labeled a supporter of the war in Afghanistan on The News Hour.

The world seems turned on its head in just a few months. No more 'good war' and 'just war' and 'necessary war' talk. Guess that's what happens when you have a Democratic President running a war that only 30% of Dems support and 70% of Republicans support. Dems won't carry too much water on it, Republicans won't support a thing out of this White House, and no hawks to be found.
