AWol claims victory for Israel; closest supporters disagree

"Hezbollah attacked Israel. Hezbollah started the crisis, and Hezbollah suffered a defeat in this crisis." -- AWol, today. (Time for someone to remind aWol of Abraham Lincoln's riddle: "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?" "Five?" "No, four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg." Saying Hezbollah started the crisis doesn't make it so.)

Many of his closest supporters--Michelle Malkin, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, writers at the National Review, think-tankers at the Heritage Foundation--beg to disagree, as Glenn Greenwald documents. Greenwald points out that these are the same vile creatures who have, for the last five years, claimed that criticizing the president in time of "war" is tantamount to treason. Unless they do it, I guess.
