The Great Excuse
Its easy to see what the great neo-conservative Iraq excuse will be in years to come:
"We were just about to win the war when the America-hating-French-speaking-tree-hugging-pink-liberals got control of congress and brought our brave troops home.
Iraq was not a defeat. No, it was a glorious victory stolen liberal cowards.
Just a few more months would have made all the difference. If only the Democrats in Washington had listened to wise council of their fellows like Joseph Lieberman and kept their nerve.
Now Iraq has gone to hell, America's interests in the entire region are threatened, Israel wants more money and weapons, and the price of oil has doubled.
And all because of those America-haters in Washington who don't understand what war means and don't get what true patriotism is. They've given victory to the freedom hating Islamic hordes and made the sacrifice of over 3000 brave young American heroes worthless."
Jeez!
I should charge Jonah Goldberg for the use of all the above and then do a toned down "mistakes were made" version for David Brooks...
