2. "Pro war" just a vicious sloganeering by Cadet Issue Framers
Really, does anyone think that those democrats want to Give War A Chance?

They are no more "pro war" than anybody who sees some use in war in some circumstances, which is, by the way, everybody except those few actual pacifists.

Nor can they be more for THIS war than anyone else who made the mistake of believing that a president could be so wrong, out of carelessness or ignorance or intent, on what he was telling us. The breadth and depth of the deception made the gulf of tonkin report look like a casual aside.

But some are thinking that the war provides the chance to kill off some moderate to moderate left democrats, and that they can single issue this nation into a leftist or a new party alignment, and that means catapulting the propaganda and some "framing", which is used in the older, false accusation sense than the modern, issues sense.
