Time for Bush to See The Realities of Iraq
There are few greater joys than watching conservatives splinter against themselves. George Will, one of the most sensible and well-spoken of conservatives, today questions whether there is real thought behind the Bush policy in Iraq, and offers up these money quotes:
"This administration cannot be trusted to govern if it cannot be counted on to think and, having thought, to have second thoughts."
"Being steadfast in defense of carefully considered convictions is a virtue. Being blankly incapable of distinguishing cherished hopes from disappointing facts, or of reassessing comforting doctrines in face of contrary evidence, is a crippling political vice. "
I think he could have left out the word "political" in the second sentence of the second quote, but otherwise, bravo, George.
