I have to agree with Sam Rosenfeld that Jon Chait's argument about the significance of neocon Robert Kagan teaming up with "Iraq war opponent and former Howard Dean supporter" Ivo Daalder to write an op-ed would be more convincing if Daalder had, in fact, opposed the Iraq War rather than supported it.

Matt,
I think Daalder opposed the war in advance but once the deadline had passed rallied to the flag to give intervention the best possible chance of success. He was also one of the first to recognize that it was a mistake, as shown by his support of Dean.

It's the new parlor game. Find the a war supporter you can brand a war opponent to write a column to support whatever the Dead Enders want to support this week.
