Conservatives and the "War Card"

Yet another golden nugget from our favorite snowbilly. In her Tea Party appearance, Palin cited a Pat Buchanan column when she mused that Obama could be tougher to beat in 2012 if he decided to bomb Iran because that would show people "he's tougher than we think he is today." The liberal blogs are having fun because they think Palin endorsed using "the war card" while Buchanan argued against it. For me, this whole discussion is more sinister. Without stopping to ponder the horrible gravity of starting a war, Palin and crew are discussing war as a political move. I find that blase attitude horrifying.
