So, if the Left had just stuck with and supported Bush, he could have and would have done Iraq better (troops and resources)?
And Bush and the GOP-controlled Congress would have put the $$ towards troops, weapons, and supplies rather than the various other projects you've named, if only the Dems had let them?
And Rumsfeld's doctrine of military transformation is also politically motivated?
Wow, Bil, I thought these guys were supposed to be principled and have big brass balls. After all, they spent years alternately screwing the Dems in the bunghole and telling the Dems to do it themselves. Was that all a show, were the Dems really so powerful without even knowing it?
Your analysis makes it sound like Iraq effort and the whole Bush administration was fraught with political cowardice and shameless pandering -- at the expense of the lives of brave young Americans.
But y'all put up with that stuff for years just waiting for the ability to reshape the Supreme Court. And he gives you Harriet Miers? A bitter brew, indeed.
