A few conservative voices rise up from the lock-step:
.
"a symbol of the inescapable fact that the war has been run incompetently, with an apparently deliberate contempt for history, strategy and thought, and with too little regard for the American soldier, whose mounting casualties seem to have no effect on the boastfulness of the civilian leadership." - Mark Helprin The Wall Street Journal 5/17/04
.
"Well, that's right, he did drive us into a ditch," "Or not into a ditch, we've had a slight --we've slightly veered off the road"
- William Kristol of The Weekly Standard, on the Daily Show comparing President George W. Bush's prosecution of the war in Iraq to a driver who ended up in a ditch.
.
"I supported the war and now I feel foolish."
- CNN's Tucker Carlson to the New York Times
.
[the president had squandered the trust of the American people]. "After the [weapons of mass destruction] intelligence debacle and the Abu Ghraib disgrace, he [Bush] has run out of that capital. He has to tell us how we will win, what we are doing, how it all holds together, why the infrastructure repair is still in disarray and how a political solution is possible. I'm not sure any more that this president has the skills or competence to pull it off."
- Andrew Sullivan: 5/19/04 on his web blog
.
"There has been poor strategic thinking in this. There has been poor operational planning and execution on the ground. And to think that we are going to "stay the course": the course is headed over Niagara Falls. I think it's time to change course a little bit, or at least hold somebody responsible for putting you on this course. Because it's been a failure.
In the lead up to the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption."
- Retired General Anthony Zinni
.
"We need to restrain what are growing U.S. messianic instincts, a sort of global social engineering where the United States feels it is both entitled and obligated to promote democracy, by force if necessary. Liberty cannot be laid down like so much Astroturf. Law and order must come first." - Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), conservative chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee
.
And then you have the zealotry and arrogance of people like.....:
.
[what happened at the prison] "is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation. You ever heard of needing to blow some steam off?" - Rush Limbaugh
.
Where do you stand??
.
Can't wait to hear all these conservative voices who dare to question our Iraq policy, being dismissed as "hate filled Liberals".
.
So I guess Republicans are also getting weary of the neocons constant "You must support Bush or you love terrorists and hate America" rhetoric. Truly though, I didn't think it was going to work forever.
.
I guess Rove and the Republican hate machine will have to think up some new tactics to silence all criticism.




These out-of-context Whomod "conservative quotes" have been click-and-dragged from a liberal spin-site near you. The Zinni quote is the only one I recognize as in the context it was intended (from Sunday's 60 Minutes, a program that seems to relish in giving exclusive coverage to each new attack on the President, with both Richard Clarke's book, and Bob Woodward's book, both of which are published by subsidiaries of CBS. No bias there at all ! )

All click-and dragged from www.moveon.org maybe ?


Does anyone really believe that Whomod researched and collected these quotes himself?

Or more consistently, that his anti-Bush ranting was just click-and-dragged here, whole and undigested, from a partisan liberal "we hate Bush" website.

  • from Do Racists have lower IQ's...

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
