As far as I am concerned, anyone who says "no war ever" or "war always" are both fools. I support a war based on the intentions. For example,

I would have supported WWII. Fasist regime dominating Europe, killing off millions of people, and THEN trying to set up a movement in a America. Obvious threat, take em' out as quickly as possible.

The War in Iraq however had no connection to 9/11 or the Jihad that threatened our people or national intrests. We should have stayed the course in Afghanistan, and kicked the nessecary ass. Unfortunately, our administration let al-Quaida get away. That is the biggest tradgisty of the fight against terrorism...despite the acts of 9/11, our president and our department of defense let our attackers get away.

"No war ever" is a straw man.

How?

He was saying that he disagrees with "no war ever" sentimentality - which does exist.  He never attacked it as being a majority opinion or as being a negative reflection of leftist foreign policy, which would have been a strawman.  This is definitely not.
