The “diaries” at Daily Kos are where the Nutroots base tests new ideas to see if they’ll float in the wider moonbat community, and two new diary posts (prompted by the Zarqawi smash) are jumping right out there and admitting (get ready for a shock) they don’t support the troops at all!

I know. Hard to believe. But here are the posts. (Hat tip: Killgore Trout.)

Daily Kos: Half Of You Will Hate Me For This.

All this carefully calculated discussion of Zarqawi’s death is revealing just what a dialectical stranglehold the Right has over us right now. It’s great that a scumbag like that is dead, lord knows he deserves to rot in hell, but do we have to pour it on extra thick just to satisfy the Right’s bloodlust? Just to prove that We Support the Troops too? I’m sick of hedging every argument through their prism that being liberal means being anti-American. It’s a semantic albatross. The only way to get it from around our necks is to rip the sucker off, not to keep petting it and hope that it will fly away and leave us one day.

As far as wishing the soldiers a safe return, who the hell doesn’t want that? But when it comes to the day-to-day operations of occupation I can’t condone what’s going on over there and I won’t pretend I do.

If you have the stomach for it dip down below for more.

Daily Kos: Support No Troops.

“Zarqawi felt my son’s breath on his hand as held the knife against his throat. Zarqawi had to look in his eyes when he did it. George Bush sits there glassy-eyed in his office with pieces of paper and condemns people to death. That to me is a real terrorist.”
—Michael Berg

Those who oppose the war in Iraq but who nonetheless feel compelled to express “support” for “our troops” might reflect that, without those troops, there would be no war.

Simply put, if today’s troops would behave only as George II did during his own military service—that is, go AWOL—there would be no one available to prosecute the war.

Press-ganged troops, like any prisoners, deserve support. But none of these troops have been press-ganged. This is not Vietnam. There is no draft. Anyone now in the American armed forces is there because s/he volunteered.
