Many conservatives have long been skeptical about the Democrats' claim to be hawkish on the GWOT. As I've detailed before, Democrats have opposed President Bush at every turn in the GWOT -- not just on Iraq.
They've scoffed at President Bush's moral clarity in depicting the GWOT as a struggle between the forces of good and evil.
