Anti-War Movement Loses One Of Its Most Powerful Voices
That voiced belonged to retired Major General John Batiste, who was seen previously opposing the Iraq war, calling for Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation and serving on the board of the far-left, anti-war VoteVets.org group.
Now he’s with Vets for Freedom, a pro-Iraq war group, and talking about the progress we’ve made in Iraq as well as the necessity for the mission.
A mission he now says we can be successful at.
One wonders how many more of these converts we’ll see as news of success in Iraq continues to come out. I would think quite a few, both from people who are legitimately having a change of heart and from people who are simply finding being anti-war in the face of victory to be politically untenable.
