All Intensive Purposes

Isaac Chotiner at The New Republic gazes briefly into the abyss:

The fact that this magazine turned against the war only when it started to go badly may not be a point in our favor.

Maybe not, eh?

Then he blinks:

But it's also a sign that the magazine is not isolationist. Moreover, if memory serves, TNR spent a significant amount of time calling those on the left isolationist and worse in the run-up to the invasion.

Phew! Call me anything, but don't call me isolationist!
