He is critical of the war.

I don't think there's anything wrong per se with being critical of the war- it's more the manner in which some high profile people have been critical.

Lance Armstrong was/is against the war and even told the President so, but he doesn't cycle from one stage to the next using the Tour de France podium as a soap box.
