Then, an interview from two nights ago with Ralph Peters.
Both men are basically still peddling the line that virtually brought the GOP to bankruptcy in 2008 (and swept Barack Hussein Obama into the White House): that America is duty-bound to pursue a naive moralism in foreign policy, with our moralism enforced with lots of US troops, and, worse yet, lots of dead and permanently maimed US troops.
And to object to that -- to say "I don't know if this is worth an American man's legs, and I can't agree, based on the recent record, that putting American targets on the ground for terrorists to murder does much for 'nation-building' and 'democracy-spreading'" -- is to be a "cheerleader for Putin."
This argument is one that's been a long time coming, and I'm glad that Carlson is bringing it out into the open, prominently.

Posted for those who missed the fur flying. Tucker really reamed these neocon warmongers, especially Max Boot.
Max Boot tries to attack Tucker several times for "yucking it up with Mark Steyn" at the top of the show (which came off like whining by Boot that he wasn't at the top of the show instead). So here it is if you're curious about what got Boot so peeved.
He is pretty good in a heated exchange. Peters was only a bird colonel and that tells us that he was too volatile to get promoted any higher in the chain of command; you can't compare him to a general with a strong mind like Keane. So Peters isn't too hard for Tucker to bait but Max Boot is a very clever man and could anticipate what Tucker was going to say. Tucker seemed ready to take him on at every turn. I got the feeling that Tucker wanted to go further in attacking Boot but he held back somewhat, knowing the kind of counterarguments Boot would make if Tucker went too far.
