Three Dregs and a Dreck

{link » The Other 9/11 Story by Victor Davis Hanson}

“Long after Jacques Chirac, Michael Moore, Gerhard Schroeder, and Cindy Sheehan have come, gone, and nearly disappeared, a General David Petraeus and thousands of American soldiers and diplomats like him remain. George W. Bush is reviled, in part because of an inability to articulate what the war against terror was, and what it was for. But Bush hatred has been reduced to a sort of politically correct trinket, worn around the neck of the clannish critics as a reminder of the President’s ineptness in expression or supposedly dangerous views — without examining what others might have done to achieve the same results of achieving freedom from further attack.”

My title for this post is a suitable answer for, "Who are Jacques Chirac, Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, and Gerhard Schroeder?" Sadly, many others would also fit that bill, but these four "nearly disappeareds" are specified in Hanson's post, and they do cover a broad spectrum of the zombielike infestation of Western civilization. Moreover, unlike MacArthur's "old soldiers" who had the decency to "just fade away", Bush revilers intensify and broaden their scorched-earth retreat in the "hopes" of dragging the Nation down in their despicable hand basket.
