College Republicans: Happy to Enlist in Big Drinking Parties, But Not in God Bush's War

From Max Blumenthal at The Huffington Post (and let me refer you to the General and Operation Yellow Elephant):
The killing of 19 Ohio servicemen in two days has shattered the morale of Brook Park, Ohio. On Wednesday, residents were told that 14 members of the Marine battalion headquartered in an old schoolhouse in town had been slain in Iraq. That was only five hours after they were told five other Marines in the battalion were killed in an insurgent ambush.

While the people of Brook Park were searching for a glint of meaning in the fact that so many of their sons lost their lives in some insane desert slum at the hands of a nebulous, nihilistic enemy, some of the war on Iraq's most ardent supporters saw no reason for doubt.

Indeed, back at the College Republican headquarters of Fort Chickenhawk, every day is Saturday. Here are two College Republicans doing their best impersonation of Christopher Hitchens, whose support for the war was recently rewarded with a Richard Mellon-Scaife-financed Hoover Institute fellowship:You can see more photos of Generation Chickenhawk in action here. They were taken at Washington's Old Ebbitt Grille, where the guest of honor was College Republican National Chairman Paul Gourley. Gourley controls what is now a $21 million 527 organization after defeating Mike Davidson in the closest CRNC election since Karl Rove was elected CRNC president in 1973.

Now there was a war worth the fighting for.

Here, chick...chick...chick... chick... CHICKENSHIT CHICKENHAWK!
