Just for Ed:

"The Bush Administration has not made it easy on its supporters. David Brooks
now admits that he was gripped with a "childish fantasy" about Iraq. Tucker
Carlson is "ashamed" and "enraged" at himself. Tom Friedman, admitting to being
"a little slow," is finally off the reservation. Die-hard Republican publicist
William Kristol admits of Bush, "He did drive us into a ditch." The neocon
fantasist and sometime Republican speechwriter Mark Helprin complains on the
Wall Street Journal editorial page--the movement's Pravda--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."
