Bawk Bawk Chickenhawk

What happened to all the crazy chicken hawkers? They went extinct, according to John Hawkins:

Note that you haven't been hearing much about "chickenhawks" since the GOP selected John McCain, a Vietnam vet and POW as our nominee, to run against noted chickenhawks, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Now, you might say, "John, it's unfair to call Obama and Clinton chickenhawks!" Really? Well, aren't they both chickenhawks by the exact same standards that the Left used in 2004?

Obama? I'll give him the first two. Clinton is 3 for 3. I guess they are still around.
